Saša Božić (HR) / THE MAIDS
16.10., 20:30pm @ &TD theatre semicircular hall
Theatre play The Maids is inspired by Jean Genet’s play of the same title. The essence of The Maids is in playing the roles and going beyond imposed roles, in having the courage to be someone else. Saša deals with what is not represented in the play: the rebellion which could result with emancipation of the maids and complete abandonment of servantery/maiding. Bodies represented in the play evoke all kinds of contemporary subordination: servants of the system, its keepers, whose identities become useless during the play. Genet’s maids may well be left trapped by reproducing the class forms they fight against, but this play is exploring the kinds of behavior that can undermine capitalism – especially with the strategy of inefficient bodies.

Sluškinje, Nataša Kopeč i Andrej Kopčok
Instead of trying to send political and/or PR messages from the scene, through series of different practices we should try to create and develop some space where alternate reality is possible, alternate to the one we see in our media, and political and TV soaps consumed society. We should represent different, other bodies, un-strained, un-explosive, nonviolent bodies. I think that is the way theatre can truly affect the reality more than just merely looking at it like a passer-by. Saša Božić
