Theatre
The first play in the trilogy, Jure Novak: Zato sem srečen (Jure Novak: Reasons To Be Happy), premiered at Glej Theatre in December 2011, and was performed at the Drugajanje Festival in 2012 and the Prelet Festival in 2013. Like all the plays in the trilogy, it was produced by Glej and co-produced by Poza. Katarina po naročilu (Katarina on Demand) followed in 2015, with subsequent performances at the Mladi Levi Festival and Prelet in the same year, at the Week of Slovenian Drama in 2016, and at the Trigger Festival in 2020.
Orgija (Orgy), the final play in the trilogy and the first to feature all three writers performing on stage together, premiered at Glej in November 2017, with the HNK Zajc theatre in Rijeka, where some of the script was developed, joining Poza on the co-production team. Support was also provided by the Slovenian Embassy in Zagreb. The play was subsequently revived at the 2019 Sex and Theatre Festival, which was organised by Mladinsko Theatre (SMG) and the Maska Institute.
Two further projects, though not co-produced by Poza, deserve mention here: Pasja procesija (A Dog's Procession, 2017), a children's show based on the songs of Svetlana Makarovič, directed by Novak and produced jointly by Mladinsko Theatre and Kino Šiška; and Karaoke (2020), a sci-fi musical staged by Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL).
Music
Novak also performs as one half of the experimental punk cabaret duo Natriletno kolobarjenje s praho with multi-instrumentalist Uroš Buh. Their second album, Iz konteksta (2018), featured executive production from Poza.
