The Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics at Georgetown University is a performing arts initiative that uses theater to illuminate and humanize global politics. It produces and presents contemporary work from around the world at the intersection of politics and performance. Its aim is to counter polarization by building empathy in live, communal settings and by giving voice to perspectives that are often unheard in Washington, DC. Based in the District of Columbia and affiliated with Georgetown University, the Lab operates as a relatively small program within the institution. The work centers on high-quality performances that bring diverse, international narratives to audiences, policymakers, and students for discussion and reflection.
