COLLECTIF TENDRE DÉSORDRE is a multidisciplinary artistic collective that brings together creators from theater, music, dance, and visual arts. Founded on the belief that artistic expression is a powerful catalyst for social connection, reflection, and transformation, our organization exists to create, produce, and share vibrant live performances and participatory artistic experiences. We work at the intersection of disciplines, cultures, and communities to explore what it means to live, feel, and create together in an ever-changing world.

Our work goes beyond the stage. We offer inclusive training programs, creative workshops, and cultural events that invite both artists and audiences into a shared process of discovery. Whether through performance, education, or collaboration, we are committed to making art that resonates—emotionally, intellectually, and socially.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make art accessible to all, nurture emerging talent, and inspire critical dialogue through innovative, collaborative, and inclusive cultural practices.

We strive to:

• Create original, multidisciplinary performances that reflect the complexity and beauty of contemporary life.

• Connect artists and audiences through shared experiences that break down barriers between disciplines, languages, and identities.

• Educate through workshops, residencies, and outreach programs that foster artistic growth and social engagement.

• Empower underrepresented voices by offering space, support, and visibility to emerging artists and marginalized communities.

At COLLECTIF TENDRE DÉSORDRE, we believe that creativity should not be limited by formal boundaries or social privilege. Our mission is driven by the desire to challenge the norms, invite diverse perspectives, and reimagine how culture can be lived and shared.

Our Vision

We envision a world where artistic expression is central to individual and collective well-being—a world where creativity acts as a force for empathy, justice, and transformation.

Our vision is to build a sustainable cultural ecosystem where artists from all backgrounds feel empowered to explore and express their ideas, and where communities see themselves reflected and engaged through art. We want to help shape a future where:

• Artistic collaboration is recognized as a vital tool for civic dialogue.

• Every person has access to the arts as a right, not a privilege.

• Multidisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange is celebrated as a source of innovation and resilience.

• Art becomes a space for tenderness, disorder, and radical imagination.

Through our programs, we aim to cultivate a sense of shared ownership and belonging in the cultural sphere—where audiences are not passive consumers, but active participants and co-creators.

Our Core Values

At the heart of our work are a set of values that guide our creative process, partnerships, and community engagement:

1. Collaboration

We believe in the power of collective creation. Our projects are born through dialogue and trust among artists from different disciplines and lived experiences. We value co-creation over hierarchy, listening over imposition, and synergy over singular authorship.

2. Inclusivity

We are committed to creating spaces where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or ability—feels welcome and respected. Our work reflects a plurality of voices and is rooted in the belief that diversity strengthens the artistic fabric of society.

3. Accessibility

Art should not be confined to institutions or elite circles. We actively seek to remove financial, geographic, and social barriers to participation in both the creation and enjoyment of art. We offer low-cost or free workshops, pay-what-you-can performances, and community-based programming to reach wider audiences.

4. Experimentation

We thrive on risk-taking, play, and curiosity. We embrace the unknown and value the process as much as the outcome. Our work often blurs the lines between disciplines, formats, and roles, inviting innovation and unpredictability into our creative practice.

5. Responsibility

As artists and cultural workers, we recognize our responsibility to the world we inhabit. We are committed to ethical creation, ecological awareness, and social justice. We engage critically with our surroundings and seek to use our platform to amplify urgent issues.

6. Tenderness and Disorder

True to our name, we embrace both the chaos and the care that come with artistic creation. “Tendre Désordre” reflects our belief that disorder can be generative and that tenderness is a radical, necessary force in the world. We seek to hold space for contradiction, vulnerability, and transformation.
