Racha Baroud

Overview

Born in Paris in 1985, Racha Baroud is a Lebanese actress and director. Beside her Master in Theatre Studies at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, she trained in Paris in L’Atelier du jeu led by Jacques Fontaine. She later focused on physical work with Studio Matejka, based in the Grotowski Institute in Poland and deepened her craft in the frame of several workshops in Europe particularly among Alessio Castellacci, Irena Tomazin and Theodoros Terzopoulos.

In 2015, she staged her first performance Today was my birthday, a musical tribute to the theatre of Tadeusz Kantor.

Her interest in cinema led her to attend the intensive program Practice of directing documentary films in Atelier Varan in Paris.

In 2020, she co-directed the documentary Ali, Hachem et Khaled in collaboration with Roy Arida. In May 2022, she presented her latest piece What if those tears were not only mine?, a performance about unconscious heritage. In 2023, she began a performative research into the question of erasure in collaboration with the patients of the Malévoz psychiatric hospital in Monthey (Switzerland).
