Maquette architecture1/28/2024 Actresses, actors, dancers, or performers always play a role that is not theirs in real life. A theater is always a kind of laboratory for identities. The figure of the theater represents this possible occupation, as well as reflecting on questions of identities. Muoto & Georgi Stanishev: The idea was to propose an architecture to be explicitly occupied, as a barricade could be. Serra Utkum Ikiz (PA): What inspired the choice to create a “Ball Theater” for the French Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023, and how does this installation reflect the curatorial team’s interests and concerns as architects and designers? In what ways do you hope this project will challenge traditional notions of architecture and performance, and what impact do you hope it will have on the field of architecture and on society more broadly? Here is the conversation between the lead curators, Muoto and Georgi Stanishev, of the French Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023, and Serra Utkum Ikiz of PA! The 18th International Architecture Exhibition (Venice Architecture Biennale 2023), curated by Lesley Lokko, will feature 64 pavilions. Ball Theater is above all a place of immersion and experimentation, a place where multiple practices interact, inhabited for a week each month by researchers, students, artists, and thinkers, who will turn the Pavilion into a venue for celebration, experimentation, and discussion. “Ball Theater” invites us to enjoy a sensory experience, a theater architecture, a scenography of sight and sound that is open to the world and receptive to its concerns, whether ecological or societal. The pavilion will be open to visitors between May 20 – November 26, 2023. The curatorial team is composed of Muoto, founded by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau, in partnership with Georgi Stanishev and Clémence La Sagna. Ball Theater has chosen to represent the French Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023.
