The Circle
2023
The Circle is a mixed media installation that continues the investigation started with The Tempest Society into the Movement of Arab Workers (MTA) and its theatre groups Al Assifa and Al Halaka. Focusing on the groups’ culmination with the candidacy of a member of Al Assifa to the 1974 French presidency, The Circle shows two French youngsters of Maghrebi descent excavating this forgotten legacy of immigrant heritage. Simultaneously, surviving members of the MTA and its theatre groups re-enact excerpts of their performances. Together, they pose the questions: How a marginalised group can make itself visible? How do we inherit a suppressed heritage? How do we transmit it?
