Conseils aux spectateurs

Jérôme Rouger presents a theatrical conference that blends spectacle and humour to examine the actor–spectator relationship and the influence of the audience on a performance’s quality. What began as a thirty‑minute piece has grown into a standalone creation: Rouger uses sharp observation, playful timing and immediate exchange with attendees to offer witty, eloquent guidance on presence, attention and behaviour in the theatre. The performance alternates reflection and live demonstration, prompting fresh awareness of collective dynamics.
