An exploration of what can bring a collective endeavour into being—and what can ultimately tear it apart.
A group of people gathers on stage to confront the dissolution of their collective. Invited to reflect on their shared project several years after its end, they attempt an unconventional reckoning: from the initial idea to the first act, from early victories to the first signs of fracture, from ideological disagreements to the decision that forced them to “choose sides.”
As the performers’ subjective recollections blur the facts, they seek to preserve memory by poetically reconstructing moments from the past. Real-life stories, documentary research, political philosophy, and personal reflections come together in a mock documentary that examines the common thread connecting the breakup of our favourite band, the fragmentation of major political movements, and even the failure of an afternoon apartment building assembly.
If “neoliberal ideology has made it almost impossible to imagine a collective alternative,” what possibilities remain for creating cracks in that reality?
A performance about groups that fell apart.
And about those that will.
Above all, it is about the people who continue to dream—and to live—collectively.
