The performance is in English.

IGLU – Improvisational Theatre of Ljubljana is Peter Frankl, Vid Sodnik and Juš Milčinski, who have joined their forces to create a versatile performing ensemble wishing to work professionally in the area of theatre improvisation. Despite their youth these are experienced improvisers who regularly perform in Ljubljana and around Slovenia and closely work with theatres in Germany, Switzerland and Canada, they have also introduced themselves to the audiences in the Netherlands, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, France, Belgium, Italy, Austria and the USA. In this festival’s version of the performance Chairs they will join forces with the Turkish ensemble Istanbulimpro.

The performance Chairs, which has been designed by members of the international collective Ohana – Vid Sodnik and Gerald Weber, looks for inspiration in the positional layout of the performing space. The rhythm and the content of scenes are dictated by the layout of stage furniture. Let’s imagine that stage props are not merely there as a requisite to help the content, but are its main creators. Let’s imagine that everyday objects are not only tools of our lives but their main determiners.
