Domini Públic is (like) a game. A life-size board game in which the spectator is more than just a pawn. Theatre-maker Roger Bernat assembles a group of people – the Kunstenfestivaldesarts audience – on the Place du Jeu de Balle / Vossenplein. Who are they, where do they come from and what is their relationship to each other? They walk across the square while listening to a series of questions and instructions on their headphones. Were you born in Brussels? Take one step to the side. Do you always sleep on the same side of the bed? Put up your hand. Some are more innocent than others. The same can’t be said for the result; through the participants’ simple movements, small groups start to form in the audience. These micro communities expose underlying social patterns and tell a tale that Bernat carefully orchestrates. While Domini Públic starts off looking like a 3D poll brought to life, the project ends up transforming into a bizarre fiction. This Catalan theatre-maker goads on the spectator, who plays a central role in this project, without requiring him to bare himself as an individual.
