Rabih Mroue is a Lebanese artist who works ubiquitously across the borders of theater, visual art, fine art and music and triggers a storm in the global art community. The provocation is almost to the limit of censorship, and exquisite humor relentlessly represents and destructs the faults and contradictions of Lebanese society that he belongs to and fiercely criticizes its fictitiousness. Then, what potential remains in arts? What is the role of the “individual” living in a community? The awaited new production from Beirut after the nightmare in the summer of 2006 is anticipated to be a cross of “stories = histories” of individuals and society, reflecting the situation in Lebanon which is changing every moment. This new production is co-produced by Tokyo International Arts Festival and Festival d’Automne Paris.
