Event overview
Presented by the Performance Research Forum
This work demonstration shows the creative process of actress Maja Mitic as she discovers different ways in which cold and technical work leads to the formation of live characters. This work develops out of, amongst otherdirect Influences, Grotowski and Barba.
In 1991, when the war started in Yugoslavia, DAH Theatre immediately had to face these questions: "What is the role and meaning of theatre? What are the responsibilities and duties of artists in times of darkness, violence and human suffering?'' DAH's first performance "This Babylonian Confusion" was an anti-war performance presented outdoors in the centre of Belgrade at a time when it was forbidden to even mention the war.
"The forming of DAH Theatre and its cry of creation coincided with the fall of ex-Yugoslavia and the general destruction that followed. Theatre directors Jadranka Andjelic and Dijana Milosevic, together with the actress
Maja Mitic, decided, perhaps subconsciously, to oppose the destruction with creation, to create, in the midst of a world falling apart, a microcosmos of theatre."
