The performance Body Fragments, which was presented on the Biennale of Venice in 2005, is the result of applying of specific language of Theaterlabor to the work of the painter Francis Bacon. The performance is a montage of body and voice work linked up with choreographic elements. Textually the performance reverts to Artaud, Battaille, Eliot, Goetz and G. W. Bush.
Since 1983 Theaterlabor exists in its current form. In these 24 years the ensemble has created a powerful artistic community which has kept experimental theatre alive and which has developed a unique theatre-language. Beside Body Fragments, latest performances of Theaterlabor are Double (2006), a co-operation with Ismael Ivo which corresponds to the work of theatre visionary Antonin Artaud and Winterreise (2007), a music theatre co-operation with Yoshi Oida. Theaterlabor is also well known for its impressing outdoor spectacles and big historical shows, organisation of the international theatre festival 360° at its venue, as well as for pedagogical work.

I Sing Like a Bird is an adventure of a group of artists who do not leave their ground but go on a pilgrimage following the footsteps of Herman Hesse and so arrive to the magic theatre where everything is possible, under condition that you previously leave your problematic personality in the cloakroom. It is possible to erase the boundaries between culture and spirituality, it is possible for joy to oppose to the centuries of fighting, it is possible for emancipation to develop, in spite of xenophobia and possessiveness.
Theatre which exists with the idea to serve theatre, not to be its servant, theatre which explores deeper levels of human communication, theatre which has the idea of moving boundaries of human perception, theatre which lives the utopia of reconciliation of anthropology and society, and theatre which presents a critical attitude – these are our basic premises. Plavo pozorište is a group of people who, cherishing a seed of anarchism in ourselves, use theatre as the place which has credibility and in which some serious things about the world that surrounds us could be said. Theatre is the place of human touch with life, not with its imitation.

Gospels of Childhood
Fragments on Intimations of Immortality
from Recollections of Early Childhood
Thursday, 5.07.2007.
Centre for Cultural Decontamination,
Birčaninova 21, 21:00

The initial impulse for the project Gospels of Childhood was an interest in the gnostic elements in the beginning of Christianity. Among the texts which appear in the performance there are scarcely known apocryphal gospels such as that of Mary Magdalene, Phillip, Thomas and fragments by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Simone Weil. The songs used in the performance, like funeral songs of Savaneti people from Caucasus or liturgical songs from Athos, were collected by the company during its expeditions.
Theatre ZAR was under the process of formation for almost three years during the time of ethno-musical expeditions to Georgia, Bulgaria, Greece and theatre work in the years 1999 – 2003. The essence of the collected music material are polyphonic songs of centuries-old tradition, which have their roots in the beginning of our era and are probably the oldest forms of polyphony. The work of Theatre ZAR is an attempt to persuade that theatre is not only the Greek thea, seeing, but it is something which above all should be heard.
