Nicolas Mouzet Tagawa worked as a teacher from 2000 to 2006 in Marseilles, with autistic children or children with special needs.  It was through this experience of seeking alternative means of communication that he became interested in theatre.  As a student at INSAS, he developed an original process for writing for the stage, with the starting point being the space. His approach is plastic and intuitive: he gathers materials, arranges them, moves them around, adjusts these elements to draw lines, frames, boundaries. In this way a “game machine” is activated, where he invites his partner actors, lighting designers, technicians for a series of research periods. From this meeting between a set and the characters, the show is born. From 2020, he has collaborated with social labour associations in the Brussels region, with the aim of including people with no access to culture, involving them in a demanding artistic process, bringing together aesthetics, experiment, care and poetry. His past projects include Bienvenue/Welkom in Anderlecht, Le Site, Chambarde, Premier mouvement, pépites & co and Strette. Nicolas Mouzet Tagawa is also a teacher at La Cambre, the national high school for visual arts (ENSAV), working on staging and the theatre of space.
