Dominio Publico (2008) by Roger Bernat

Public Domain does without the actor as the main aspect of the show and leaves the audience as the only participant. It is not about turning the spectator into an actor, but about fulfilling the narrative possibilities of the group using statistical tools. The spectators are part of a fiction without the need of exposing themselves as individuals on a stage that, on the other hand, has as many actors as spectators watching the show.

Public Domain is part of a bigger work that deals with audience and participation. A book has been published as well (Querido Público) and we are starting to develop a new scenic project, a part of which could be seen in Nits Salvatges (LP’09), and whose name is Purely Coincidental.
