Its next performance Do I Dream the Memory or Do I Remember the Dream [Sanjam spomin, a se spominjam sanj] (1996) received an award at Infant Festival, Serbia, while Potočan received the Golden Bird Award for this production. The performance Melancholic Thoughts [Melanholične misli] (1998) received a jury prize at the Sarajevo MESS.
In 2005, Fourklor premièred an extremely successful work Rusty Trumpets [Zarjavele trobente], produced by Vitkar Institute and Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, which received the Audience Award at the Gibanica (Moving Cake) Festival of Slovene Dance. Another awarded show was Seeing through touch [Skozi oči dotika] (2010), which won a jury award at PUF International Alternative Theatre Festival 2011.
Fourklor performances, as well as Potočan's solo projects are produced by Vitkar Institute and often presented at either Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station or Cankarjev dom.
