The Icelandic collective Kviss búmm bang, currently in residence in Ljubljana under the framework of the European project Global City – Local City, stages what could be defined as documentary and participatory theatre, since their projects are normally produced in the city they’re being hosted in. The ironic approach they use in their work often allows the spectator to see things from another perspective. The Icelandic artists will be staying in Maribor and Ljubljana for more than a month to do research and to present their work GALA – Celebration of Minorities, which tackles the issue of minorities in the broadest sense of the term. Under what circumstances does a group become a minority? What can be defined as a “minority” and what is “normal”? Who is the subject, doing the defining? Kviss búmm bang will invite various groups to cooperate and thus establish a participatory process in order to look under the surface of everyday life. Their funny and roguish style will accompany them in the arena of the seemingly “normal”, where they will confront the norms of the silent dominant structures on one hand, and the minority structures in society on the other
