WORKSHOP WITH BORIS KADIN  Organised by Antic Teatre and Glej Theatre As part of the programmed activities for the second part of the cav_a - The aim of the workshop is to generate an exchange framework that will strengthen communication and facilitate the sharing of information and experiences through participation in a formative creation process. The results of this workshop will be shown to the general public in the Antic Teatre performance hall on Monday July 2nd at 21:00h. The workshop focuses on researching the relationship between the social / political /neoliberal experiments that have led to negative economic consequences (as for example in Spain, where the 90s economic boom has given way to total economic ruin and widespread unemployment) and the individual Utopias resulting indirectly from these negative consequences; considering both aspects as inconsistent, as oxymoronic. Boris Kadin will be working with multimedia for this project. The workshop will be based on use of images, video recordings, views of real and imaginary places, and in deciding the rules for the Last Resort game. | ||

BORIS KADIN 
Concept and direction: Boris Kadin Duration: 50 minutes www.glej.si/en/events/performances/144/94/scream →link only this show for promotion → Scream is based on the Oslo 2004 theft of Munch's existentialist painting The Scream. The painting will be displayed at Munch’s showcase at the London 2012 Olympics. Scream aims to present the story of Zlatan Jašarević, the man who stole the painting but was never arrested. The man, who destroyed this painting. Scream discusses the relationship between Munch’s biography, the story of the painting’s conception, the media response to the theft in 2004, Zlatan Jašarević’s story and his connection to the woman, who was, at the time of the theft, a museum guard. Scream talks about the cause and effect link between the artist and the person who, a hundred years later, steals his painting. Boris Kadin is an international artist, project author, performer and curator. He works in different art disciplines (performance, video art, photography, cabaret). He is also the cofounder and curator of New Media Gallery (Zadar), member of HDLU (Zagreb), cofounder and copresident of Mavena →  | ||

MARKO BRATUŠ 
Directed by: Marko Bratuš Duration: 40 minutes http://www.glej.si/en/events/plays/144/92 → What happens when the Koper air, the freshness of Maribor, the Ljubljana basin and excellence in puppetry meet? This spring, exclusively on Glej's stage, a unique revolutionary spectacle (with a limited budget): 4 actors for 64 roles. A spectacular hymn to the worker’s revolution, overthrowing the leading class and dragging Russian workers from the mud to the front door of the utopian commune. A hundred years later, we are faced with a similar situation. The Commune didn’t come to much, communism and socialism replaced by capitalism, the economy in crisis, workers not getting paid for their labor, the falling standard of living, with elites getting larger and larger pieces of the pie. Marko Bratuš graduated in dramaturgy at the Ljubljana Academy of Theatre and went on to do a BA in Radio Directing in 2006. As a script writer, he has worked on eight short and one full length film production. He has directed two documentary films (Elena, about a paraplegic running for president and Walking on water, about a blind model who wants to appear in the paraolympics). As dramaturge, he has collaborated on eight performances, while directing two (Krpan vs. Brdavs and Misterio Bufo). He has also written, adapted and directed some radio plays. (in 2004 his Night Tariff play was shortlisted for the Prix Italia). He is also the selector for the Linhart amateur theatre competition. His comic “alter ego” (Smaal Tokk) appears on the Slovene national television. | ||

AJDA ROOSS, JASNA VASTL, BRANE VIŽINTIN 
Directed by: Ajda Rooss, Jasna Vastl, Brane Vižintin http://www.glej.si/en/events/performances/144/91/how-jaromir-sought-happiness → link only this show for promotion → How Jaromir sought happiness is a poetic show inspired by Peter Svetina’s homonymous story. The stargazer Jaromir keeps looking at the stars from his attic room, seeking happiness. Each day, he is visited by misses Jarmila, who helps him with housework. On a cloudy day, when no stars appear in the sky, Jarmila turns his telescope elsewhere, to a magical walk through stories of small, secret moments. He is suddenly shaken, as if hit by a comet: was happiness within his reach all this time? The performance is without text, therefore appropriate for international audiences. Ajda Rooss is a versatile artists, working mainly on puppeteering as a dramaturg, director, puppeteer, writer, pedagogue. She graduated dramaturgy at the Ljubljana Academy of Theatre. She collaborates with numerous institutions (the Ljubljana and Maribor Puppet Theatres) and NGOs (Glej Theatre, Konj Puppet Theatre, Fru-Fru Theatre). | ||
