EL PUBLICO – THE AUDIENCE – LE PUBLIC / HET PUBLIEK

El Público,  The Audience and Le Public / Het Publiek are three films about a theatre audience and the city they live in. They’re also about theatre pieces that we only get to know through the narration of it.

The starting point of both films is the same: there’s an audience who goes to see a play in a Theatre. The audience takes their seats before the show starts, reading the hand programme, chatting to each other.

The theater piece starts but we don’t see it.
There’s an elipsis.
We see the audience leaving the Theater right after the show ends. Apparently the piece they saw was amazing, an extremely complex performance about a hidden real story in the city’s recent history. Everyone in the audience is moved because of what they saw.

We follow different people leaving the Theater. We will see the stories of those 11 people during the 24 hours after they see the theater piece and to what extent that play affected their lives.
Each story is a short film.

The personal stories from the audience are very diverse and they have a variety of conflicts, there’s some stories with a strong plot and others that are more focused on the everyday life. But at some point all of them talks with other person about the theater piece they saw and we didn’t. They all tell a different scene from the play.
By following their stories and by listening their storytelling about the piece the real audience can reconstruct the theater play the fictional audience saw.

Which are the stories of the people who goes together to see a theater piece? How much their lives are transformed by that experience? In which meassure what they saw is modified by their memories? How it is to became a character in your own city? Which effect produces to transform an audience into protagonists?
