If we can find the petty bourgeois in any way similar to us or to our fellow inhabitants of today’s world, it is perhaps in the constant burdening of humankind with the lack of content or the inability to express the content that would be accepted as we would like both in the immediate and in the wider environment.

Maintaining our reputation. Maintaining our image. Maintaining our impression. Feeding the ego that feeds on our true self. What remains in the end? Emptiness, again. Grim, grim, grim. (more…)

The life of a family and a mother is problematised mainly from the standpoint of the contemporary precarious working conditions, which erase the difference between work (social) and private life.

And what is the economic value generated by an artwork? (more…)

In addition to Jang Edwards and, of course, Slava Polunin, legendary artist Leo Bassi is considered one of the three main protagonists of the Nouveau Clown concept.
He is not only a TV personality, continuously confronting us with provocation, he is also a purebred comedian, a classic clown and an actor striving for a different comedy, explosive and dark, provocative and ungraspable. This outrageous warrior of the army of endless laughter turned to provocation as his only weapon of survival, helping him to face personal challenges which are almost infinite, helping him to overcome every obstacle, as impossible or inconvenient as it may appear.

“… a performance not to be missed. “ – Irena Štaudohar, Delo, Sobotna priloga
A theatre-music project with musicians as performers. At the beginning of the process, director has faced his collaborators with the following formula: the state is a music band, an inhabitant of the state is a musician, and migration from one state to another is like migration of a musician from one band to another. Through a process of improvisation and rehearsals, the creators have been examining the premise that the political, economic, emotional and other kinds of migrations could be “talked about” through the migration of musicians. The project “theatrises” the musical material (more…)
