Aymen Mejri
Aymen Mejri is an actor, director, playwright and educator, and the founder of the AWA Theatre Lab. His work combines stage creation, teaching and social engagement: he develops projects focused on embodied speech, collective memory and participatory methods.
On stage, Aymen is known for sensitive works that blend text, movement and voice, creating spaces for personal narratives and collective testimony. As a writer, he explores themes such as identity and everyday stories, often adapting intimate accounts into hybrid forms between theatre and performance.
Through AWA Theatre Lab, he runs workshops and training programs for emerging artists and community groups. His pedagogy emphasizes listening, improvisation and devised theatre, alongside ethical, non‑extractive approaches to working with sensitive narratives.
Aymen regularly collaborates with visual artists, musicians and cultural organisations, bringing theatrical tools into cross‑disciplinary projects and site‑specific interventions. His recent research focuses on integrating oral archives and sound into staged and site‑specific formats, and on participatory models that connect performance to urban and digital spaces. Aymen combines a rigorous stage practice with a commitment to socially engaged theatre and to nurturing new generations of practitioners.
