Rooted in Liège, the Collectif Mensuel  performs and stakes a claim to their playful, popular and polymorphous style of theatre.

When it was founded, the group originally consisted of one actress and two actors: Sandrine Bergot, Baptiste Isaia and Renaud Riga. Since 2007, the company has developed and grown thanks to a multitude of talents: musicians, videographers, actors, actresses, an author (Nicolas Ancion), a footsteps editor, a sound engineer, stage managers, a scenographer, artists, and more.

In their flamboyant shows, the members of the Collectif Mensuel create live music and sound effects, producing an invariably festive and infectious spectacle, "where humour never fails to play a part".

But the collective never leaves out the political side of theatre ‒ on the contrary, it takes ownership of this aspect. Each new production is an opportunity to explore complex themes, and above all, to go in search of as wide an audience as possible, with no cultural or social restrictions.

With a constantly renewed sense of freedom, impertinence and inventiveness, the Collectif Mensuel sails from project to project, success to success: L’homme qui valait 35 milliards, Sabordage, Blockbuster, Zaï-Zaï… written or adapted by author Nicolas Ancion. While the original team does still take to the stage, it now plays some shows alternately with the new generation.

But one thing is certain: it's a truly human adventure being written within the walls and on the boards of the Théâtre de Liège.
