This paper’s based on the 21st century’s collectives in theatre and on the heritage of the 1960-70’s paradigmatics’experiences. Setted up in the 2000s, the young collectives are mainly pragmatics. Intermittents, flexibles, working in subsidized theatre, without concrete program for the “new man” to propose, they focused their resistance in their creation processus, political because collective, and realized an “open work”—as defying Umberto Eco—in the heart of the representation itself. Tied in reality, polyphonic, perpetually moving, this work induces a democratic conception of activity of the audience and reactivates some of the discoveries of the collective creations’ in the sixties—especially the emancipations’ theory. Paradoxycally, the 21s collectives revive with History and redraw a broken filiation thanks to an aesthetic of mayfly.
