The BACTÉRIA workshop is a space for exploration and experimentation that invites participants to become part of the creative process behind the production of the show. Inspired by the way ideas and behaviors spread socially, it uses the metaphor of bacteria to reflect on symbolic “contaminations” that shape notions of truth, freedom, and belonging. The audience plays an active role in the creative process. Research, trial and error, and refinement guide the practice, fostering critical thinking and collaboration.
