In 2009 the institute produced, together with Glej Theatre and Dejmo stisnt teater, the comedy Southern Scum go home! / Čefurji raus! directed by Mare Bulc and based on a novel by Goran Vojnović - the play went on to become one of the most successful theatre plays in Slovenian history with over 300 re-runs.
