Using our experience as a collective, we want to talk about the different ways in which humans succeed or fail to live and work together. We want to move towards a satire of known and lived social organisations, to take on roles and immerse ourselves in different political forms that humans (and why not animals) have already used to co-exist (democracy, communism, anarchy…).
Even though the Collective came together over 10 years ago, and has created and lived together, the question of how to function as a collective is still relevant, primordial and becomes the centre of our new creative research.
We want to highlight our successes and disagreements and confront the audience with them.
Is collective creation possible when we are all so different?
How can we make choices and make the right decisions?
Making concessions, trusting each other, manipulating individuals, masses, convincing the group, voting, choosing, rallying against one another.
This creation will be conducted as an experiment, a mise en abîme of society: using the public as a citizen, or member of a community, where it would sometimes be an actor and decision-maker, or even an executioner, sometimes a spectator, passive or even manipulated.
It is through this new project We agree to disagree that the Collectif Malunés wishes to offer a contemporary, grating and poignant show on the question of « living together ».
