Presentation
At the end of the 1960s, the first collective creation companies appeared on the international scene. They were formations that renounced the orthodox structure characteristic of traditional theatre, not only as an act of artistic rupture, but also as a symbol of a political stance that advocated self-management and the renunciation of any hierarchical or power relationship.
They are groups that carry out work:
-Transversal, in which everyone participates in the different areas.
-Synchronous, in that, often, the different stages of creation (playwriting, rehearsals, lighting design, costumes and set design...) occur at the same time and in the same space.
-Polysemic, since it promotes friction between artists from different disciplines.
Since then, this unique way of creating has become an exceptional means for researching new, original and innovative performing genres, using and fusing a wide range of languages.
This conference examines the magnitude of the challenge of tackling this type of work and what wonders (or horrors) we may encounter along the way, depending on how we organize the process.

When creative processes are at the service of ego needs or personal affirmation, work becomes burdensome and full of confrontations. Often as artists we defend our ideas so passionately that we end up identifying with them. These perverse mechanisms end up causing all kinds of artistic, emotional and economic shipwrecks.
