Max the rat and Bruce the bear (inspired by the films by Fischli & Weiss) like to visit different contexts. Collectif Inouite's strategies are reappropriation and recontextualization. In an aesthetic inspired by popular culture, funny or absurd actions are performed in which the performers are always dressed as a rat and a bear. Starting from these figures, the Collectif Inouite develops an increasingly dense system of references (a kind of personal anthology from all areas of culture); at the same time, it attempts to return these fetishes of contemporary art to their mascot status by staging performances that also contain a certain simple level of entertainment and play with clichés. In "Minimal Theater", Max & Bruce perform a puppet show about minimal art.
