Historically, while the company was called “di mini teatro”, the work was centered on the mask, the street theater and the Roma communities.
The purpose of the company was to bring together and carry out team street theater projects, particularly in the slums of Lille. Armed with their masks, accompanied by their trumpeter (alias Jeanp) and provided with their canvas, they crisscross the grounds, have the inhabitants write and stage them.
Then comes the time to go and meet the Roma in the villages of Hungary to develop the work …
A first Europe Creative project with Ukraine and Hungary was born. Boris takes the artistic direction of a project mixing the folk arts of deep Ukraine, a Hungarian rock star, the musicians of the collective Tire-Laine and the actors of the di mini teatro. From this project was born an ephemeral spectacle.
This is how the company takes the direction of Eastern Europe with the Play! MOBILE project mixing street art, performance, plastic work and international teamwork.
This project will establish the collaboration between Boris Dymny and Marc Duport and establish their new line of work: Creation NarrActive.
Today, at the crossroads of street theater, plastic installation, social theater, writing, music, the DMT places itself under the banner of social ties with the weapons of culture.
