D – i – Y  Per for MANCE is a research project in permanent creation. Through the inter-action of the participants and the 36 fixed dramatic situation it explores the effect of chance: while the actors travel the thin line between being thrown in a situation and their own creative decisions, they also expand the boundaries between play, theatre and life.

D – i – Y  Per for MANCE is a participatory event that is offered to the participants as a possibility to create their own performance. The outcome of each show are at least four performances in one. Its re-activity investigates in a playful manner the im-possible conditions of capitalist hyper-production, its patteRns, loopholes and patched solutions, wherein the creator is solely in charge of the process of the creation of the performance. In a given situation it represents the creative field of freedom in the collective remodelling of instructions. Creativity torn between arts and crafts in assembling the performance.

D – i – Y  Per for MANCE is entirely hand made and coloured with bic colours.
