Flora Kenza Nacer (1995) – Theatre director and writer
Vision
In my work, I explore the subconscious and emotional space of stories. I see theater as a playing field for stretching a state between dream and reality and being together in this undefined space. My work often starts from the personal, in conversation with others. I embrace the form of theater by being transparent about the fact that an actor takes on a different role in the here and now to invent something that a group of unfamiliar people are watching, which puts them back in touch with what they have to invent in that moment. As an artist, I attempt to take the viewer from looking at embodied experience or position within the work. I use the imagination and especially the visual and sensory aspect of theater to bring people to other layers of themselves. Where feelings and associations are leading. In this way I try to touch the depth of the every day, to put a magnifying glass on social dynamics between people, until it becomes alienating and therefore just recognizable. I believe there is great power in watching someone else's story, although I believe there is an even greater power in experiencing a staged situation together.
