CREATIVE TROUPE

OOI –“Out of India” Troupe (a.k.a. “C’est la CEPT” Troupe)–was founded in Ahmedabad, India, in early 2017, at CEPT University with theatrical-cinematic events staged in both Ahmedabad and Venice, Italy. The troupe is comprised of Harsh Bhavsar, Ishita Jain, Owen O’Carroll, and Gavin Keeney.

The focus of works produced in early 2017 and subsequent iterations (re-performance, archival record, and publication) is performance-based investigations of forms of contemporary transmedia and the right of authors and artists to have no rights for/before Capital, the issue of“no rights” conditioned by and explored through variations in the creation of works as record. MTA –The Metropolitan Transmedia Authority –was created in September 2019 as successor collective to OOI.
