What we want to create is a space where the audience contributes and takes responsibility for their engagement with the artists.
To do this, we draw on the concept of “Porous Dramaturgy” as presented by Cathy Turner, particularly in these terms:
“A work that engages the audience in co-creation through its underlying concepts and formal structures, notably interactivity, immersion, and site specificity.”
This is our methodology for exploring the plurality of this creation.
This approach allows the audience the possibility of becoming co-creators of the work. The artists’ task is to constantly question the guiding lines of the dramaturgy, shifting the dynamics between artist and audience.
To foster this participatory dynamic, we aim to engage with local actors and integrate them into the performance.
Brass bands, actors, musicians, passersby — we plan long-term, meaningful interventions in the community that allow us to include residents.
This intention will be expressed through diverse forms, opening up the possibilities of a performance with variable geometry: offering on-stage choirs, acts with amateurs, participants with disabilities, etc., depending on what is possible with local associations.
These interventions will be organized in advance through collective work with our partners to prepare our arrival in a community.
There is everything to be built…
