| LAB ON STAGE is an initiative that shows and communicates creative processes. It is an experimental, deconstructive method of staging, where the creative act becomes the central protagonist of a work, or rather an event. During the development process, using spatial, visual, acoustic, choreographic and performance elements, a physical and creative awareness begins to evolve. The set-up and interaction of all the previous mentioned components is an aesthetic experience itself. Contrary to works that are staged 'god-like', LAB ON STAGE understands, treats and shows the creative process as a stage-ready event.
The creative process is an aesthetic experience itself.
LAB ON STAGE roots in an investigation around the body, movement, space and materials. The topics involved are the transformation of the human body and it’s architecture, as well as social aspects of todays life such as gender, identity and consumerism.
Adriana Torres Topaga and Arnulfo Pardo Ravagli founded LAB ON STAGE in 2012. Since then various artists from different disciplines joined the initiative for specific collaborations.
