The Ball Theater is a hemispherical theater built inside the French Pavilion, like a pavilion within the pavilion. It responds to the general theme of the biennial “the Laboratory of the Future” defined by Lesley Lokko, because theater is in essence a laboratory of identities, places and imaginations. It is a device that allows you to project yourself into an elsewhere and into the future. The curators are therefore betting here on a built architecture capable of offering visitors an experience that is at once spatial, aesthetic and sound. Because, according to Lesley Lokko, the role of architecture is no longer to represent or to represent itself as an image. It must be real, tangible and concrete to become the place where life, society and the future are experienced! We must no longer avoid architecture, we must do it and experience it. You no longer have to look back, as most exhibitions do, but look ahead. You have to write the sequel.
