OUR WORK
Facciocose is a performance and design studio based in London and Eindhoven.
We work at the intersection between Performance, Design, and Science. Our practice explores contemporary issues around health, queer governance, urbanism and ethics of care. Through critical research, embodiment methodologies, storytelling, live streams, participatory design methods, and performance production, our mission is to foster active audience participation in matters of social justice, care and health-governance.
Performing Medicine
A participatory performance that challenges the hierarchical and theatrical relations of conventional medicine by drawing attention to the narrative dynamics of medical props, rituals, and languages of authority.
Tarot of water
A participatory performance delving into the exploration of planetary water, multi-species relationships and hydrofeminism, drawing inspiration from the Rider Waite Tarot.
Waste care
What if we began to "care" for our waste? Could waste "care" for us in return?
A socially engaged project involving marginalized communities to explore the bio-potential of their household waste and its practical applications.
Building dialogue
A role game in which players immerse themselves in a provocative scenario and are guided to question the role of design as a tool for the creation of alternative solutions to climate emergency and social injustice.
“The____Library” Symposium
The Symposium invited an audience of designers, curators and reserachers to explore the dynamics of patriarchal power structures and decolonisation of archival and documentation systems.
Contagious care
The Symposium panel will invite conversations around how we can understand microbial bodies, and explore embodied and more-than-human systems of health.
Walking the map
A community-engaged project focused on addressing the challenges faced by elderly individuals dealing with mental health issues, particularly those at risk of marginalisation and homelessness.
Book publication
“Performing Medicine” employs performance studies methodology to investigate the emergence of DIY medicine and the significance of health-governance.
THE BACK
The Back is an intimate performance with one member of the audience at the time. This performance has the ambition to explore and redefine the concept of mediation, encounters and authenticity in the significance of performance art.
embodied science
EMBODIED SCIENCE is a series of lectures and workshops that make scientific knowledge accessible and engaging through movement practices. This project aims to make science accessible and engaging to audiences.
Ubu Roi - DARK CLOWN
The incredible Costume Designer Rachele Terrinoni designed this costume of “Mother Ubu” for Ubu Roy by Alfred Jarry. We were honored to play the greedy, sadistic and ruthless character of “Mother Ubu”, the Queen of Poland.
WHO MADE YOUR CLOTHES?
Who Made Your Clothes? is an exhibition created for Biennale Venice 2017. This installation is an attempt to investigate the relationship between clothing, producer and consumer and to re-establish a lost connection throughout the whole production process.
NO-Time REVERSIBLE
No-Time Reversible is a piece by Jose Martinez that explores the theme of ‘dissipation’: “everything that dissipates from the system to which it belongs returns to its initial stages in a natural way, making each one of the possibilities unique.” Facciocose has played in the video performance presented at the “Embrace your inner chaos” exhibition.
Embrace your inner chaos
Embrace your inner chaos is a collective exhibition presenting the work of a group of 12 artists who have investigated the concept of entropy, chaos and transformation in their creative practices.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR BELONGING
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR BELONGING was commissioned by Sally Souraya in 2019 for Autospace Festival in Beijing. Drawing from Sally’s personal experience in migration and departure, we devised a physical theatre performance that incorporated Sally’s experience about loss and migration.
thetreeproject
