Le Collectif des Mondes Contraires is an international theatre company based in Geneva, Switzerland.
Created in 2001, the company was born out of a desire to confront and explore difference.
The company proposes not just work between or for like and like but work that takes difference as its starting point so as to discover the moment at which even those of us most dissimilar are profoundly the same.

The Collectif defends a theatre that is at once political and poetic - a theatre that tries to engage with the complex realities the confront and define our age. With its Metissage Projects, the company travels to work in countries wherein the political choices have concrete and visible implications on the daily life of the people. The core company is comprised of seven artists - all graduates of Ecole Internationale Jacques Lecoq in Paris. The Collectif collaborates regularly with a number of associated artists - including musicians, designers, circus artists and dancers.

Today, as never before, cultures, arts and beliefs can meet, collide and, potentially, coincide. Human curiosity can always be stimulated and our ability to both listen and to hear can always be heightened.
There is a common ground between even those of us the most different and it is in this space that true creation occurs and that people can truly meet …
