Invitation to the working celebration of: FRAKCIJA - 10 YEARS In collaboration with Culture of Change, Student Center, Zagreb. 24.-26. November & 06.-10. December 2006 Frakcija Magazine for Performing Arts marks its tenth anniversary this year. The program includes: a mini festival of productions by authors who have formed the vision of new theater in Croatia in the past decade; a book promotion; dramaturgy coaching sessions; lectures by Jon McKenzie, Bojana Cvejić and Emil Hrvatin. We kick off the program marking the 10th anniversary of Frakcija Magazine for Performing Arts in November 2006 with three productions by Zagreb's younger generation of dance authors, authors whose work has integrated a research-oriented and reflective approach to choreography and performance. The three productions have all gone through a process that has included showing of different stages of the works. Friday, 24.11., 20:00, Theater ITD, Zagreb Oliver Frljić & Zrinka Užbinec Concept and direction: Oliver Frljić The production relates to its earlier version and its problematic framework. It takes as its starting point the kind of performing artists' solidarity that is a result of the experience of working on the first version. It explores performance politics that are the product of the absence of the problematic framework that generated the first version. This approach emphasizes representative modes of solidarity. Saturday, 25.11., 20:00, Academy of Drama Art, Zagreb k.o. Choreography and performance: Željka Sančanin The project Solo : Cycle , is a choreographical essay which refers to different aspects of the phenomena of artistic work in the medium of dance and choreography. Through autoreferentiality, Solo : Cycle explores normative ideology of choreographical practices, attempting to emphasize the tangibility of the dance medium, its perceptive visibility and semiotic elusiveness. Sunday, 26.11., 20:00, Theater ITD, Zagreb Marjana Krajač & Selma Banich / Sodaberg Authors/Choreography/Performed by: Marjana Krajač and Selma Banich The pivot of the program will happen 06.-10. December with performances of new productions: Bobo Jelčić/Nataša Rajković: Other Side, Branko Brezovec W&T, Damira Bartola Indoš Vilovanje, Ivica Buljan Block, BADco. Memories are Made of This..., Vilim Matula Point, Oliver Frljić The Misses Rice and others. Thursday, 07.12., 22:00, Theatre &TD, Zagreb J. Lacoste / F. Paravidino: BLOCK Directed by: Ivica Buljan Performers: Sven Jakir, Rona Žulj, Miran Kurspahić, George Stanciu, Hrvoslava Brkušić & Tigrova mast: Niko Potočnjak, Bruno Motik, Tvrtko Dujmović F. Paravidino: GENOA 01 Performers: Darko Japelj, Miro Manojlović, Bruno Motik Production: SC -Theatre &TD – Culture of Culture; Co-production: New Theatre, Zadar Snova, AWL Dubrovnik Ivica Buljan consecutively stages two plays by two contemporary young playwrights Joris Lacoste and Faust Paravidino under the joint title BLOCK, interrelating them thematically by questioning the modes, forms and experiences of the individual in today's globalised society. Friday, 08.12., 19:00, Theatre &TD, Zagreb Vilim Matula Concept and performed by: Vilim Matula With this performance Vilim Matula researches the performative "punctuation" of the social: the extrovert code that we recognise as unvoiced moods, opinions, loyalties, animosities, closeness, resistance, passions, fears, intentions. The subtext. The "in between lines". The constant, inevitable reliance on another: the lover, the technician, but also the echolocation of complete strangers, as well as close friends. The Point is an intersection of intimate, as well as public, circling around the unreachable directness. Clarity. Precision. Friday, 08.12., 22:00, Theatre &TD, Zagreb Oliver Frljić Directed and conceived by: Oliver Frljić This production primarily focuses on the emptiness of the notion of political theatre and the possibilities of its replenishing. Taking as its starting point the interviews in which Condoleeza Rice explains the reasons she gave up a career of a pianist and turned to international politics, Vanessa Redgrave describes the state of exception and the huge mass of people who have been placed outside of legislative rule. We attempt to map the space in which the performativity of political speech (is always) cancelled. Saturday, 09.12., 20:00, Theater &TD, Zagreb B. Brezovec Directed by: Branko Brezovec "W&T" is the first production of the project "Tito - 20th century": the theatrical rethinking of the end of the millenium starting from WWII, converging around the emblem figure of Josip Broz Tito, in the function of participants and protagonists of utopias, discrepancies, numerous dark and light moments that have marked the European continent and the non-alignment movement. The project plans the staging of five productions by Croatian, Russian, Egiptian and Macedonian directors, including nine countries and ten institutions (among them Theater &TD). Saturday, 09.12., 22:00, Theater &TD, Zagreb BADco. Performers and coauthors: Pravdan Devlahović, Ana Kreitmeyer, Krešimir Mikić, Nikolina Pristaš, Zrinka Užbinec & Damir Bartol Indoš To approach the topic of memory via a process intrinsic to it – forgetting – suggests two possibilities of entering this complex subject matter: to think in terms of vacuity, blankness, deletion, and further on, mental fissures and emotional crack-ups, and on the other hand, to treat the fact that we are able to forget, and that we do forget whether we choose to or not, as a faculty which opens upon numerous possibilities of creating, re-building the present from whatever leftovers of the past we can muster up at any moment and which enables us to endlessly traverse the bifurcations of Borgesian labyrinths as an attitude towards the present. The point is to keep the door which leads to a world of possibilities open. Because of that our methodology of work as well as the representative mode in which the project operates can be described as a notebook, a collection of performance notes and/or notes for a performance. A note is a reminder, a souvenir of some past situation, without an exposition yet open to all possible re-interpretations and fictionalizations, a marker of the possibility of a perpetual divergence. Sunday, 10.12., 20:00, Theater &TD, Zagreb Nataša Rajković, Bobo Jelčić Actors: Ksenija Marinković, Krešimir Mikić, Jadranka Đokić, Nikša Butijer Stage manager: Maja Levanić The performance Other Side is a result of long and specific research work of Bobo Jelčić and Nataša Rajković with four actors. The story of the performance is common as always in the work of Bobo and Nataša: they are trying to catch a subtle rhythm and atmosphere of everyday living problems and to analyse position of everyday people and their psychological and sociological capacities. On the other side, the performance is questing the meaning of theatrical convention and theatrical elements playing with levels of acting and performing, shaping content and text during the work. Sunday, 10.12., 22:00, Theatre &TD, Zagreb Damir Bartol Indoš Morning writings by D.B. Indoš worked on by: Collaborator in Vilovanje: Dragana Mirković We are here, on a meadow, lighted by distant street lights, on the location of a two-year association of two people, sometimes three, and two animals, sometimes three, from the winter of 2003 until the winter of 2005, from 5.15, 5.30 a.m., daily, regardless of weather conditions, illness is not allowed. Since 2005, there has been one, accompanied by a being which does not speak, still frantically singing and dancing, circling the meadow, trying to outrun the Sun, and transforming the meadow into the Walden Pond, one-hour walks through the meadow to the life in the forest.
