F FOR FEYDEAU AND FRLJIC

On November, 20th a new project by "theatrical terorist" Oliver Frljić based on a controversial late familiy farce On purge bébé (Going to Pot) HAD ITS its world premiere.

FRLJIC EXPLAINS ITS PROJECT AS FOLLOWS: By staging this text in Mladinsko I'm trying to accomplish several things. First, I'd like to change the prevalent and superficial perception of my work. In this project I problematise the expected methods of representation, by staging a play by an author for whom theatre was in the first place a vehicle for entertainment. But in this questioning of the representation method, or, to be more precise, in the part of the performance that is happening in the backstage, the space for the subjectivisation of an actor is beginning to open. The actors waiting for their cue to enter stage sit behind scenery, in front of another audience and try to actively structure this time.

MLADINSKO IN FRANCE AND RUSSIA

Following two succesfull presentations in Germany, LESSINGTAGE in Thalia Theater, Hamburg (February, 4th and 5th Damned be the traitor of his homeland!” tours to two festivals in France. Passages in Metz (10, 11. and 12th May) and Horizon in Mulhouse (14, 15. May). After five performances in France we will move to The TInternational Theatre Festival in Omsk, Russia. G The Croatian director Oliver Frljic brushes off the ashes of a state whose creation at the end of the First World War was animated by an ideal of universal liberty and whose dissolution in 1992 yielded a mosaic of countries committed to their own national identities.
Provocative, subversive, and intensely free, Frljic’s piece aims to provoke a reaction with its accusing tone, implicating the viewer both emotionally and intellectually. For the enfant terrible of the ex-Yugoslavia theater scene, individual stories must confront the verdict of History, so that everyone, knowing the facts, may consider his own responsibility.

Portraits

During May 2013 we will present a new project by acclaimed director Vito Taufer, premiered early this year, a collaborative documentary theatre performance Portraits in three evenings, a theatrical exploration of hapiness issue in the contemporary world.
