Writer, director, producer and visual artist Mohamed El Khatib creates projects in which performance, literature and film intersect. Through intimate and social stories, he increases opportunities for encounters between art and people whose exposure to it is limited. For example he suggested that a cleaning lady and a classical dancer reflect on their skills in Moi, Corinne Dadat, and invited 58 supporters from the Racing Club de Lens on stage (STADIUM). With the children of divorced parents, he questioned what the family can produce as a narrative on radio and on screen. In collaboration with the historian Patrick Boucheron, he sketched out a popular history of art using snow globes. With the visual artist Valérie Mréjen, he devised a museum tour by listening to what the museum attendants had to say. In parallel with these projects for the stage, Mohamed El Khatib has developed visual research in collaboration with several artists. In Savoy, alongside Valérie Mréjen, he initiated the creation of the first art centre in a nursing home. In the Collection Lambert in Avignon, he devised a sentimental exhibition uniting curators in vulnerable situations from the Abbé Pierre Foundation and museum staff. At Mucem, he created the monumental exhibition Renault 12, inspired by the car journeys taken by Franco-North African families. Mohamed El Khatib is associate artist at the Théâtre de la Ville à Paris, the Théâtre National de Bretagne and the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles.
