The works of Roger Bernat are participatory in nature: the audience usually plays the part of the protagonist and co-creator in his performances. Bernat has also co-edited a collection of expert papers entitled Querido Público: El espectador ante la participación: jugadores, usuarios, prosumers y fans, where one of the crucial questions posed is whether the move towards participatory theatre is a step forward in decision-making processes or whether this shift reduces initiatives to a theatre of seemingly endless possibilities, where decisions are nevertheless taken by others in the end.
In 2012, we hosted Bernat’s performance Pendiente de voto, which challenged the audience to cast the die. The audience comes to play an equally vital role in the performance Numax-Fagor-plus, the text of which is based on a film about the collapse of a workers’ attempt to manage the Numax household appliance factory in Spain. History came to repeat itself also in 2013 with the disintegration of the Fagor cooperative, which was equally involved in producing household appliances. Bernat invited the Fagor factory workers to perform the scenes from Numax’s fall. And now, you are called upon to bring the endeavour of the workers to life once again.
