Collection of Spectators

The Portuguese theatre maker Raquel André collects people. Having compiled collections of lovers, collectors and artists, it’s time now to create a collection of spectators. Who are these spectators? How do they relate to art? And what do they experience when they attend a show?

Collection of Spectators is a show and an exhibition rolled into one. On stage, Raquel André initiates a probing conversation with a group of people who are regular visitors of Stadsschouwburg Utrecht. She plans a series of intensive workshops with them during the preceding week, during which they talk about how they look at art, what art means to them, and what striking works of art have made a lasting impression on them. And there’s room to talk about the hidden story of the theatre itself.
