Dejmo Stisnt Theatre
Working on the principle of quasi democracy, that is with various members of the theatre group taking on the role of stage director, Dejmo Stisnt Theatre has thus far created 10 evening-length performances with over 500 re-runs, numerous street performances, improvisational theatre performances, radio plays, and other events.
The group adapts modern texts that are taken either from literature or from film or comics. The groups has thus staged Woody Allen's comedy God [Bog] (1995), Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs [Rezervar Dogs] (1999), Kevin Smith's Clerks [Trgovci] (2002), and David Mamet's Sexual Perversity [Seksualna perverzija] (2001).
The performance Diarrhoea Under Slovenes [Diareja pod Slovenci] (2003) was based on the comic series Diareja by Tomaž Lavrič that has been featured in Mladina Magazine for more than two decades. Its theme was the disintegration of the Yugoslav state. The show was performed over 100 times at several festivals in Slovenia as well as in Sarajevo, Split, Trieste, Belgrade, and Hanover. In 2007, the sequel Diarrhoea for the President [Diareja za predsednika] was created, this time with the current and everyday political issues of 'colours' and 'wings' as its theme.
