The exhibition Arcola in Process features a selection of images documenting the work at the Arcola over the last year by Alessandro Evangelista. He has been following productions from the first read-through to the final performance.
The Arcola Theatre is one of London’s most successful alternative venues. Located in a spacious converted textile factory, it is mainly driven by the passionate contribution of a large number of volunteers – mostly theatre professionals. – The Arcola is a reference space for the multi-culturally rich community of Hackney. Founded by Turkish director Mehmet Ergen in September 2000, it has earned a reputation for staging the work of the best contemporary writers and directors.
Alessandro Evangelista is currently photographer-in-residence at the Arcola Theatre. His interests include performance, street and social photography.
Arcola In Process is part of the Photomonth 2005 season in London’s East End and the City.
