Performances and Creations

Being a spectator is not being passive.. As Simone de Beauvoir paraphrased: we are not born an audience, we become one…

Whether at home or outside, we can still be isolated individuals. But in the designated space, whether it’s a theatre, a public square or a living room, we begin to subconsciously integrate into a community, this special collective we call an audience. During a performance, together we react, we are attentive both to the actions on stage and the reactions of the other spectators. We construct and share a powerful, individual, and collective experience.

To choose the artists and/or theme, texts and/or musical accompaniment, the “constraint” of a specific location and its capacity to foster an intimate connection with the sensitivity and interests of the people present is our modus vivendi.
