Dubai's first experimental theatre project

Original creations are devised by the collective with a physical, multidisciplinary and minimalistic approach to theatre-making. 

STAR TOO has signed 8 original creations, participating in over 20 events since its 2010 inception, such as Sikka Art and Design Festival under Dubai Culture & Arts Authority. 

Adepts of alternative narrative structures, a touch of postmodernism, and in-situ practices, the group aspires to form its own vocabulary as a laboratory-style theatre located in the Middle East, valuing plurality of culture and communication, with a penchant for irony… indicated by its name.

To transform the environment, performers substitute literal props with customized sticks called Artisticks, plain cloth named Its, and a parachute as a tool for choreography or shape shifting. A giant cloth box called the White Majlis is used to surround the audience, immersing spectators in the action with projections on all sides. Multimedia or video art are also prominent, embracing modern theatrical syntax that also reduces the use of material objects. 

Methods of devising vary according to subject matter that the troupe finds impactful and socially relevant at the time of creation.
