Examining Communitas is a hybrid public event at the intersection of theatre performance, choreography, a parlour game and a happening. It takes place in theatre and thus reaffirms its role in the symbolisation of the social. However, the stage here becomes the point in a public space where citizens discuss the essential social questions and in a fictive situation think about the possible future for the society. The event is conceived on the principles of games and simulation that are open for participation from everyone in the audience.
Considering that each reprise depends on audience participation, each reprise is a unique event (episode) and it emanates from the situation that has developed the previous time, and on the other hand, creates a new series of events with unpredictable results.
The performance ends with a public forum, a discussion on the experience with the participants and the stories we have told together in the process. Because the stories and the social choreography are temporary, changing and depending on ourselves, we have titled the performance Examining Communitas.
