"DOSSIER : Le théâtre immersif"
by Hélène Chevrier
L’effet de l’immersion est radical pour ceux qui l’ont pratiquée. Pour Simón Hanukai, elle sollicite tous les sens du spectateur. "Dans le théâtre classique on utilise seulement nos yeux et nos oreilles. Dans le théâtre immersif, on utilise tous nos sens et tout le corps. Je trouve que c'est très intéressant sur tout dans le monde dans lequel on vit […] C'est une expérience pour vivre de manière différente".

Theatre with, for, and on behalf of refugees, migrants, and exiles—however those terms are defined—seems to be springing up more these days, in the midst of a metastasizing global refugee crisis […] Simón Adinia Hanukai, educator, theatremaker, and co-artistic director of Kaimera Productions, is in the process of creating three projects for and with refugees.
SPACES activated a building that is routinely used to demoralize and stifle the human soul and made it a place of authentic connection and profound witnessing. Few things have inspired me and restored my hope in how we might connect moving forward.

... this celebration of people coming together that I’m so honored that I get to be a part of. Maybe these folks have not been to a live performance in over a year, and I get to lay out a carpet for them and say, “Welcome home to your city.”

Parce qu'il suffit d'un rien pour se connecter à l'autre, l'artiste suscite et met en form un échange de confidences intimes, joyeuses, émouvantes, entre citadins qui s'ignorent et se méconnaissent.

[...] there was something exciting about being in a building with a clear community function not my own. I was drawn inwards, rather than feeling in any way excluded. I was now part of the “new” community formed by the piece.
