"We have to make sure that art is not a platform for activism. It’s a platform for discussing, for questioning, for putting doubts, for ideas. It’s not a place to make a revolution. If there’s a revolution, it’s revolution against myself, to provoke myself" - Rabih Mroué
Rabih Mroué is a Lebanese actor, director, playwright and artist. As an artist, he continuously questions the role of art and society: from the relationship between performers and the audience to art's use as a revolutionary platform for activism.
The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN will present Rabih Mroué’s Looking for a Missing Employee January 12–14, as part of Out There 2012. His Pixelated Revolution will be performed on January 14.
