Speaker Corner<\/em> is a performance without actors, designed for public spaces. A text projected onto a city wall speaks out and captures the attention of an audience gathered in a square. It stares them down, tells stories, cracks jokes, spurs them to action, and creates a shared space that is both critical and joyful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker Corner<\/em> is a performance that reimagines how we come together in public spaces. As a group, the audience is invited to view their surroundings in new ways. Speaker Corner<\/em> captures the present moment in public space and sparks reflections, emotions, and actions to create a direct connection with those who experience it. Speaker Corner<\/em> emerges from what is happening around it and transforms the space into a collective area to be shared (and defended). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker Corner<\/em> invites everyone to participate, freely and in their own way, in this truly spectacular moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The Collectif Impatience (75) places research and the relationship with the individual\u2014the audience member\u2014at the center of its creations. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn light of global developments, we are taking an exploratory approach. We create forms that shift the viewer\u2019s gaze, that transform the way a performance is experienced and the way one becomes a spectator. We are implementing a \u201cdramaturgy of address.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Our works and performances are conceived as interactive mediums with the audience: visual and\/or participatory installations, theater without actors, audience-centered staging, and performances in which we ourselves take part… <\/span><\/p>\n

The encounter can serve as the starting point for a performance such as <\/span>B\u00e2ton<\/span><\/i> which invites someone from outside the theater world to be at the center of the process. But our research on \u201cthe audience\u201d can turn into an obsession, as in <\/span>Lumen Text<\/span><\/i> to the point where there are no more interpreters. The concept of \u201cassembly\u201d underpins the very principle of the <\/span>TTension Conference<\/span><\/i>. We develop performances, gallery installations, laboratories, game and discussion protocols, sound installations, and site-specific works in non-traditional venues. Our research is informed by protocols that encourage confrontation, intertwining, and hybridization. <\/span><\/p>\n

The connection to the visual arts is emphasized. We are just as interested in the method and the creative process as we are in the final format. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Research Project <\/span>What Can the Night Do?<\/span><\/i>, supported by the Ministry of Culture\u2019s research division, brought together researchers, artists, and children to explore, in the space of the night, participatory formats tailored to children. As a result of this research, a work of the same name was created in December 2025. <\/span><\/p>\n
