The Collado-Van Hoestenberghe Foundation presents Constructivo in France

Performing.  Chamarande and Alès, 31/05/2015

In an intimate setting, Constructivo is a manifesto against the sterile forms of certain stereotyped buildings in contemporary architecture. At a given moment two building workers begin to question their work, in a critical exercise that reaffirms the role of the free thinker using the pickaxe, shovel and the concrete mixer. The play premieres in Chamarande on Sunday, 31st May, and then on 3rd and 4th July at the Cratère Surfaces festival in Alès. 




Constructivo, written and performed by Piero Steiner and Ernesto Collado, is an ardent manifesto against the sterility of modern architecture and also a critical and imaginative view of our society and the buildings that ought to shelter it. It is a performance game in which two enlightened bricklayers invite us to reconsider universal questions while they seek personal answers to the ethical emptiness that surrounds them with the aid of their crazy humour and boundless humanity.

The Collado-Van Hoestenberghe Foundation was founded in 2007 by Ernesto Collado and Barbara Van Hoestenberghe with the aim of promoting a laboratory of independent and self-managed performing creativity based in Pontós, a small village in L’Alt Empordà.

On Sunday, 31st May they will offer two sessions in Chamarande, about 40km south of Paris: the first at 2 p.m. and the second at 5 p.m. On Friday, 3rd and Saturday, 4th July they will be in Alès, at the Cratère Surfaces festival, where they will also do two double sessions: on the 3rd at 7.45 p.m. and 10 p.m., and on the 4th at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Admission to all the performances, in Chamarande and in Alès, is free.

Performances on 31st May in Chamarande, and on 3rd and 4th July in Alès
