SOCIÉTÉ EN CHANTIER
A figure of immersive and documentary theater, Stefan Kaegi, director of the collective, continues his disturbing explorations of reality. After the arms race or artificial intelligence, this time it plunges the public into a construction site to reveal its mechanisms.
Immersed in a huge model reconstructing a large work area, the public will meet eight experts there. From entrepreneur to worker, via the town planner or the investment advisor, each testifies to their experience and tries to defend its interests. Then arise the mechanisms of an industry with invisible connections and interests that diverges that project the public into the human, logistical, economic and policies accompanying the construction of a Pharaonic construction site.
