QUE FUNCIONE

What does a group of strangers do in a theater hall?

“Que funcione” [Make it work] is a sociological study, a research project that aims to build a possible counter-hegemonic, horizontal community, resulting from the gathering of a group of strangers coming together to see a performance. Once the audience enters the room, they become the protagonists and, based on a series of instructions, they have to find a way to be together. The project tests the concept of belonging: as an act of survival, as a process of identity construction.

“Que funcione” operates specifically depending on the territory where it takes place, observing each group within its social, economic, and political context. This project is taking shape as it is being experimented with and, in parallel, involves research and documentary recording in the city and the social context in which it takes place.
