Biography
Born in Beirut, Mroué lives in Hazmieh, Lebanon.[2] He is a grandson of Husayn Muruwwa.[3] He graduated in theater in from Lebanese University,[2] where he met his wife, Lina Saneh.[1][2]
He has been creating theater pieces since [2] Theater in Beirut revived in the years after the Lebanese Civil War, but Mroué and Saneh, who frequently collaborate, were among the first to push into avant-garde territory (and away from European influences), using venues such as the Russian Cultural Center, makeshift halls, and private homes.[4] His works since the late s "blur and confound the boundaries between theater and the visual arts", often using screens and projected images.[4] Writing in The New York Times about Mroué's theater group, Kaelen Wilson-Goldie commented that "they are to Beirut what the Wooster Group is to New York: a combine of avant-garde innovation, conceptual complexity and political urgency, all grounded in earthy humor."[1]
Mroué's performances, although scripted, are designed to come into view more like improvised works in progress, reflecting his continuing theme of inquiry, focused more on provoking thought than presenting spectacle.[4] Mroué has written of his own work, "My works deal with issues that have been swept under the table in the current political climate of Lebanon,"[2]
Mroué's piece about the Lebanese Civil War, How Nancy Wished That Everything Was an April Fool's Joke, toured internationally.
Gender: Male. Nationality: Lebanon. Date of Birth: Period: Contemporary.Banned domestically by the Lebanese Interior Ministry,[1] it premiered in Tokyo.[2] The ban was eventually lifted.[5] In , a series of photographs made with mobile phones at Homs, Syria showed persons killed during the fights of / Copies of the photographs were shown at dOCUMENTA (13) at Kassel, Germany with the title Pixelated Revolution.

Blurring the lines to the visual arts, the installation was also exhibited at the Documenta. Mounted on a narrow row of columns, an second clip sequence that is cut into single shots can be seen. If the audience walks past the columns fast enough, the single images merge and develop one motion sequence. If it walks more slowly, however, the single image remains isolated.His work is held in the collections of the MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the CA2M in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Van Arbey Museum in Rotterdam, among others.
