Dogs (Les Chiens)

is a short text by Hervé Guibert, created very early in his writing career, containing open sexual content, and referred to by the author as his “pornographic book”. The animality of desire, expressed through the dual nature of a sado-masochistic relationship, is eventually sublimated to the vitality of the shared hetero-homo sexual act.

Director: Bojan Djordjev; performer: Stipe Kostanić – http://bojandjordjev.wordpress.com/

PostUganda
In the concert-performance “PostUganda” you can be convinced how even the most embarrassing and generalizing clichés about women, the fine arts, the PMS hysteria and the new Age of Aquarius will turn out to be true and more…

Performance by: Maike Lond and Riina Maidre

Two actors, while shooting a movie, had to start a new scene after had supposedly ran a long distance. One of the actors went running before shooting the scene to feel tired. When he came back, sweaty, breathless, ready, the other actor asked: "Why don't you just pretend?" For me, theatre is about pretending but, at the same time, experience becomes the best performance.
