Zirlib, France


Mohamed  El Khatib

An author, stage director, filmmaker, and visual artist, Mohamed El Khatib develops projects at the crossroads of performance, literature, and cinema. Through intimate and social epics, he creates opportunities for encounters between art and those who are usually distant from it.

After Moi, Corinne Dadat, which brought together a cleaning woman and a classical dancer to reflect on their respective skills, he continued his exploration of the working class with the monumental piece STADIUM, featuring 58 supporters of Racing Club de Lens on stage. Working with children of divorced parents, he examined—on radio and screen—what kind of narratives family can produce. With historian Patrick Boucheron, he crafted a popular history of art through the lens of the snow globe.

Alongside his stage projects, Mohamed El Khatib has developed visual art research in collaboration with several artists. In Savoie, together with Valérie Mréjen, he initiated the creation of the first art center within a nursing home (Ehpad). At the Collection Lambert in Avignon, he conceived a “sentimental exhibition” by bringing together precarious curators from the Fondation Abbé Pierre and members of the museum staff.

At the Mucem, he created the monumental exhibition Renault 12, inspired by the car journeys of Franco-Maghrebi families.
