Pupilija, papa Pupilo and the Pupilceks - reconstruction
We celebrate a Special Prize ex aequo of 41st Bitef for “re-actualizing a constant wish to question the nature and boundaries of the theatre.
The performance will be followed by a small concert of evergreen Pupilija songs!
Internationaly renowned performance (La Mama (New York), Centre Pompidou (Pariz), ICA (London)) will be presented to Slovenian audience for the first time after 2003 at 6th international festival of improvisation Naked Stage! This time multimedia artist Janez Jansa will join the performer Janez Janša and the painter Janez Janša on the stage.
A premiere of the theatre performance which re-invoices the manifestation of political public rage.
4 ways of crossing the borders in performance: politics, body, time and audience, which Janez Janša developed and experimented with in previous manifestations of Program! Project, will be synthesized in a single act with reenactment or reinvoicement of racist demonstrations which happened in several villages in Slovenia in 2006. The performance will consist of live acts both in theater as well as in non-theatrical venues (a shopping mall, a church, a museum, the parliament). In this part, Janša performs 3 constitutive elements of any art act (realness, staging and reflection) constantly mixing and remixing them.
