La Troupe
Theatre company La Troupe was born out of the Good Chance Paris domes. They form the core group of central performers and artists that worked on every workshop, Hope Show and in their own professional performances.
In October 2018 they performed a devised piece of theatre, developed collectively and led by Alexandre Moisescot at La Générale. La Troupe held a show called ‘Allez Hope, La Troupe!” - a free and open-to-all reunion.
Now receiving professional commissions, La Troupe performs across France including at the Culture Lab in Reims in 2019, at the prestigious Admical Forum of Foundations at the College de France and most recently at the Pompidou Centre in Paris as part of Boltanski’s exhibition in February 2020, to great acclaim.

La Troupe's first play premiered in Reims as part of the Culture Lab en Champagne Festival in summer 2019. They have since been invited to perform at venues across Paris, including at the Forum de Mécénat at the Collège de France, combining the collective stories and individual journeys from their homes in Afghanistan, Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Sudan, Syria and Turkey to Paris. Written and performed by La Troupe, they tell of their arrival and reaction to different cultures through physical theatre, dance and improvisation.
