apparatus takes the performative power of matter seriously. Things, including those of the theater, are not just passive matrixes, they are active agents for situations.

Their projects evolve from an relational web of space, bodies, textures and shading. Theater itself can manifest and be the host for a better reality. From project to project, apparatus forms temporary collectives from new configurations of human and non-human agents.
