Organization: MICRO FOCUS
At the crossroads of disciplines, the collective’s framework for exploration is the Real, the Ordinary and the Extraordinary, with a desire to question the boundaries of genre as well as spectacle. The collective’s ambition is to perform in likely or unlikely venues and work primarily in public spaces.
The goal? To create surprising performances focused on transforming the landscape, playing with the construction of time and space-time, taking the protagonists on an emotional journey and casting a veil over reality.
Questioning “beliefs”
The collective also wants to question its audiences about “Our Beliefs” and challenge and unsettle our most deeply rooted certainties.
This is what brought us together, with a shared desire to “do something different.” The Micro Focus Collective now comprises around twenty artists.
