The word aggressive, deriving from Latin word ag-gredior, stands for getting close, to act, to attack. The members of the association understand the word "attack" in its positive meaning, especially when they deal with the implementation of somewhat unusual practices in the field of art. Driven by an artistic need to change the society they try to implement their action in different fields of art: visual arts (theatre, street theatre, performance), visual communications (installations, works of fine arts) and literature (poetry, prose, dramatic pieces, literary evening, competition, ex tempore).
The recent work by Agressive Theatre include Competition for Young Poetry, the international project Goli Otok and the Mobile Mosque / مسجد المحمول, an installation of all-in-one portable Islamic suitcase containing all necessary items for constantly migrating Muslims. Among the works that caused most media attention, was the intervention Acute Art in an »empty« public gallery space Mala Gallery, Museum of Modern Art in 2009. The »invasion« took place at the exhibition by Viktor Bernik where only empty walls were being exhibited 24 hours a day. The occupation of the exhibition with the installation named Equivalentis questioned the use of public space and the discrimination of the individuality.
