Created at the Théâtre National de Strasbourg by two Brussels-based artists, Sahra Datoussaid and Sarah Siré, this forum was born of the desire to tell the story of a controversial man — high-tech terrorist for some, revolutionary hero for others.
Borrowing from the codes of documentary theatre and the academic conference, the forum features witnesses and experts in a performative way. It was the starting point for the construction of a narrative, like “an institute of history and documentation”, in the words of director Milo Rau, whose work includes the Congo Tribunal.
