The Espèces de… company ‘To take the people's anger and give it back to them so that it becomes part of our collective memory’. Dario Fo Espèces de... , an all-female creative collective, has been developing artistic projects aimed at individual and collective emancipation through the practice of theatre for over 20 years. Our collective creations, our work in the field, our experience as actresses and the frequent questioning of our creative processes inscribe our work in the theatre-action approach. We have deliberately chosen to set up in the Saint-Léonard district in Liège, a working-class neighbourhood where over 90 different nationalities live together and where we have patiently built strong intersectional bonds. The priority of our artistic work is to create with and for people who are vulnerable because of their social or economic situation, or because they belong to a minority, and whose voices are often ignored or even socially repressed. The various crises we are experiencing (health, energy, political), the consequences of which are already having an impact on citizens and will continue to do so in the long term, have highlighted the urgent need for us and our partners to join forces and work hard to bring people together, fostering ‘the Meeting’. Decompartmentalising, bringing people together, pooling strengths and resources, co-constructing – these are the vital impulses we believe are much needed today to combat isolationism, individualism, extremism, and social, racial and gender divisions
