THE COLLECTIVE PROJECT
"OUR FIRST ARTISTIC CHOICE
IS THE COLLECTIVE CREATION"
" ÈS is a preposition which means In matter of .
It is always followed by a plural and therefore by a multiplicity, like the one we seek in the idea of the collective. Speaking as a group where each personality involved is concerned, without role attribution, each carrying their own perspective and approach; we apprehend creation as a collective factory to offer objects from us. Make the bet that any object or creative act is co-signed by three.
Creating live performance means proposing living objects, seen, experienced by living people. This sharing, we seek it in our own way: we seek a physical intensity that pushes our bodies to engage, to be fully inhabited. A desire to develop physical empathy, to invest bodies that communicate and exude the pleasure of being together. This research is constantly fueled by our questions about communication, group energy, the need for us to operate in this way and the social role it can play. Creating is the opportunity to come together, to work together, to question our relationship with others.
Since 2011, we have co-signed pieces by seizing, not without self-mockery, themes such as utopia, disagreement, plagiarism or the heritage of popular references."
