COLLECTIF 17H25
A COLLECTIVE PROJECT FOR ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL TRANSITION IN CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS
The Collectif 17h25 is made up of the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, the Opéra de Paris, the Opéra de Lyon and the Théâtre de la Monnaie.
The members share the ambition of improving and strengthening their practices through innovation and the pooling of their human, technical and financial resources and means.
Their association also aims to promote their values in the cultural sector and contribute to the sharing of best practice within it.

the STANDARD structures project
As part of the France 2030 plan and in line with the Paris Agreements, the Collectif 17h25 has launched the STANDARD STRUCTURES project. This project aims to standardise scenery structures in order to reduce the carbon footprint, resource consumption and energy costs associated with the transport, storage and production of opera sets.
Collectif 17h25 is committed to a process of research and development focused on the ecological and social transition in the creation of sets and structures for cultural institutions. The STANDARDS STRUCTURES project facilitates real spaces for collective reflection and exchange between members of the collective during several days Labs, in which teams from different institutions come together to share their technical and craft know-how, with the aim of developing solutions adapted to the various creative and technical challenges involved in creating "standard structures".
This project fosters the pooling of the human, technical and financial resources of the collective members, with the aim of promoting more sustainable cultural practices. This open-source project aims to strengthen cooperation within an often competitive sector, in view of a better ecological and social transition.

EUROPEAN STATE OF THE ART
In the wake of a preliminary study carried out in 2022 across the Collective’s five opera houses, the aim of this state-of-the-art review is to identify existing practices and current research in the cultural sector in Europe. The goal is also to compile a Europe-wide inventory of repertory and standard systems.
This state-of-the-art review provides a comprehensive analysis of repertory and standard practices in Europe for the year 2024. It presents a trend, but is not exhaustive. The 10 institutions that took part in this in-depth study represent the broadest possible range of operas based on their size, organisation and infrastructure.
