Theatre | Improvisation |General public | French

L’Usine de théâtre potentiel gives you a triple pleasure: to discover a new work, to witness (and participate in) its live creation, and to discover how five improvisational virtuosos will emerge from this great ordeal.

Through an interactive poll, the audience first chooses the dramaturgical and scenographic elements of the show: what type of contemporary play do they want to see tonight (documentary theater, reinvented myth, multiform cabaret, dreamlike puzzle…)? What kind of lighting? In what musical atmosphere? How will each person’s speaking time be allocated? Following the algorithm and its 1,200 possible combinations, the stage is then transformed into a veritable machine of constraints within which the actors must create a live play!
