Blue Theatre was founded in December of 1995 in Belgrade. We make theatre with the idea to change ourselves. Not the world, but ourselves. And maybe other people, too. Theatre is capable to influence people to change, but is not capable to change the world. Many people would like it to be possible, but we know it isn`t. That`s why we make theatre.
Blue Theatre is a theatre laboratory which ideology is based on principles established by reformers of XX century theatre - Constantin Stanislavsky, Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret, as well as Italian director Massimo Giannetti.
Theatre which exists so that it could serve the people, and not to be served to, 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.
In the middle of our attention is man as a human being. Even the actor is a man, human being, and afterwards an actor. Theatre is the place of human touch with life, not with its imitation.
Blue theatre is not a modern theatre. We are contemporary theatre, we are the group of people who, cherishing a seed of anarchism in ourselves, use theatre as the place which has credibility and where some serious things about the world that surrounds us could be said.
As a part of regular activities, Blue theatre maintains education of young theatre creators through workshops and seminaries. |
