L.A.S [Laboratorio de Artistas Sostenibles] ​

 

L.A.S [Laboratorio de Artistas Sostenibles] is a Colombian-Mexican research-creation company in the live arts, founded in 2018 by Laura Uribe (Mexican stage director, playwright, and teacher) and Sabina Aldana (Colombian-Mexican stage designer and art director), both with over fifteen years of experience in the contemporary performing arts field.

​

L.A.S. reclaims the concept of sustainability to generate an inexhaustible and fertile system of thought that fosters diverse experiences, promoting participation and exchange among artists, researchers, scientists, and social agents. The company seeks a symbiosis between disciplines, languages, and media, as well as a deliberate "contamination" between fiction and reality. This creates a liminal approach between art and life, exploring new practices, poetics, and aesthetics to question and dislocate dominant macropolitical ideologies, always starting from the intimate—micropolitical—sphere. L.A.S. explores new theatricalities and expanded performativities that actively engage with specific contexts and social urgencies, creating performative devices that not only accompany processes of symbolic reparation but also have a tangible impact on reality.

Our journey has been made possible thanks to the support of various institutions, scholarship programs, and public funding in Mexico and abroad, which has strengthened our creative autonomy, our capacity for impact, and the sustainability of our processes.
