What, after all, is a spectator? Someone who observes, someone who waits, someone who judges, or someone who participates simply by being present?

We seek to place the audience at the centre of the theatrical event and to question the divide between those who make and those who watch, between stage and auditorium, between action and passivity.

The spectator is challenged, observed and turned back towards themselves, in a game where watching ceases to be a neutral gesture and becomes a form of choice, interpretation and power.

So that, one day

At the table, while cutting bread

The worker was overcome

By a sudden emotion

When he realised, astonished,

That everything on that table

— Bottle, plate, knife —

Had been made by him

Starting from their rights and duties, their frustrations, proposals and demands, the performance questions the place of those who watch and the often hierarchical relationship between stage and audience. The spectator is no longer understood as a passive figure, destined merely to observe, but is recognised as someone who interprets, chooses, makes connections, disagrees and constructs meaning.

Between activity and passivity, between those who look and those who are looked at, we seek another form of shared sensibility: a more horizontal relationship between those who make theatre and those who receive it. A space where established positions can be redistributed and where learning can once again become an act of pleasure, curiosity and freedom.

Rather than teaching the spectator how to see, the performance claims their right to look for themselves, to question, to confront, and to take with them what theatre often cannot bring to an end.

And it was through understanding

That solitary moment

That, like his own creation,

The worker, too, grew.
