Delak has recently produced the first part of the trilogy Three Elizabethan Tragedies [Tri elizabetinske tragedije] by the Croatian playwright Vladimir Stojsavljević, which discusses the relation between theatre and the state in the period of Renaissance through its main protagonists, namely Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. The performance Marlowe (2009), directed by Dragan Živadinov, deals with the emergence of Renaissance theatre after a millennium long tradition of passion plays, while Marlowe himself is presented as a founder of a modern artistic paradigm, which is linked to the strengthening of humanistic values and man's emancipation. The last part of the trilogy The Forbidden Theatre [Prepovedano gledališče], also directed by Živadinov, premièred in 2008. | Delak has recently produced the first part of the trilogy Three Elizabethan Tragedies [Tri elizabetinske tragedije] by the Croatian playwright Vladimir Stojsavljević, which discusses the relation between theatre and the state in the period of Renaissance through its main protagonists, namely Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson.

Background
Delak Performing Arts Research Centre was founded in 1995 in Ljubljana by Jana Pavlič, Dragan Živadinov (web projects) and Emil Hrvatin (research). Delak aimed for an open field of research and exchange of diverse contemporary artistic ideas, focusing on contemporary theatre and new technologies. Its information and documentation projects were mainly complex new media projects. Primarily intended to the theory of contemporary theatre practices and their historisation in the Slovene space, Delak published a bilingual CD-ROM, titled Fredo Delak - the Avantgardist, featuring a multimedia presentation of the conceptual sources and perspectives of the work of the Slovene avant-garde author Fredo Delak, after whom the institute is named. The publication also presented the most important actors of the then Slovene and European avant-gardes and their poetics. In 2001, Delak published, together with Maska Institute Castration Machines: Theatre and Art in the Nineties [Kastracijski stroji: gledališče in umetnost devetdestih] by Boris Pintar and Jana Pavlič, featuring 22 Slovene authors (also with video clips in the accompanying CD-ROM). Occasionally Delak organised meetings and theatre workshops intended for the professional and a wider audience.
Projects and programme
Since 2005, Delak Institute has evolved into a centre for contemporary art practices, focusing primarily on the research and making of post-gravity art (for the inception of the concept see Noordung Cosmokinetic Cabinet), the culturalisation of space by way of research, theory, and documentation, and the production of informances. The vehicle for the work of Dragan Živadinov (post-gravity theatre abstracts), Dunja Zupančič (mechatronic artist), and Miha Turšič (designer of zero-gravity environments), Delak Institute has produced a number of post-gravity art related projects, widely presented world-wide, including exhibitions, symposia, performances, as well as other space research related events. Thus, in 2009, the collective presented the concepts of "theatre in zero-gravity" with the project Postgravity Art :: Syntapiens at the biannual festival of visual performance Performa 09 in New York, produced by EYEBEAM, a regular partner of Delak Institute, in 2008 appeared at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, with the project O::O::O, Orbital Orientation Object, and in 2008 presented the memorial infrustructure of the pioneer of space travel Herman Potočnik Noordung at the Lazareti Art Workshop in Dubrovnik, Croatia. In 2009, the collective's work has been features at the exhibition A Pair of Left Shoes/ Reality Check in Eastern Europe, organised by the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb, Croatia, and Kunstmuseum Bochum, Germany.
Delak's projects are often presented at the Herman Potočnik Noordung Memorial Centre Vitanje.
Delak has recently produced the first part of the trilogy Three Elizabethan Tragedies [Tri elizabetinske tragedije] by the Croatian playwright Vladimir Stojsavljević, which discusses the relation between theatre and the state in the period of Renaissance through its main protagonists, namely Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. The performance Marlowe (2009), directed by Dragan Živadinov, deals with the emergence of Renaissance theatre after a millennium long tradition of passion plays, while Marlowe himself is presented as a founder of a modern artistic paradigm, which is linked to the strengthening of humanistic values and man's emancipation. The last part of the trilogy The Forbidden Theatre [Prepovedano gledališče], also directed by Živadinov, premièred in 2008.
In January, March, and May 2009 Delak organised three lectures by Dragan Živadinov: Five Inventions of the Modernistic Biography (the case of Mile Korun), Trieste Constructivist Ambient (1927), and The 21st Century Postgravity Art.
International cooperation
Delak is a member of the European Network of Information Centres for the Performing Arts (ENICPA).
