Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers are an artistic research and production center.

Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers are an anchorage point for experimental projects from all fields of contemporary creation and assist financially, technically and logistically their development by adapting to the needs and the specificities of each project. When required, les Laboratoires enters punctually into partnership. It could be with cultural, scientific, and social institutions or groups of benevolents, in particular with inhabitants of Aubervilliers, which could contribute to the research process.

The ways of presenting the productions to the audience are defined project by project according to their specificities and could take any format (performances, exhibitions, books, films, CDs, broadcasts, seminars…), take place in any context (theatres, exhibition spaces, radios, televisions, cinemas, schools, public space…) and be programmed at the time considered as the most favourable to their reception.

By these choices, Les Laboratoires work on questioning the nowadays research, production and art sharing conditions, on crossing and composing practices both on the artistic and non-artistic fields, on the local, national and international scales, on developing and showing minority processes which are artistic gestures (ie ways of producing freedom) and finally on appealing to an audience who wishes not to consume culture but to produce meanings.
