»The
inside becomes much more interesting than that which is
visible on the outside,« concludes the director Sašo
Jurcer, who, together with the actress Mojtina Jurcer,
established the Inner World Theatre in 2005.
Through a series of original theatre performances and by
transposing the boundaries between performance, physical
theatre, contemporary dance and modern opera, they reject
the mimetic foundations of the western theatre tradition,
and on stage ever more intensively pulls down the curtain
of a material world by shifting away from the notion of the
theatre as the mirror of the world to the theatre as a
gesture to the world – from the actor’s body on stage to
body as a world.
During research process of “inner world theatre” they
developed a theatre system and acting method, which – on
the basis of temporal decompression and spatial
decomposition – liberates the actor’s body from the
physical confines of the outer and – through the bodily
calligraphy of inner mental states – connects it to the
dramaturgy of manifestations of human inner motion.
Today, the Inner World Theatre is a moving company, which
builds and modifies its performances through intense
exploration of the nature of theatrical contact in
dialogues with audiences of various cultures, from Helsinki
and St. Petersburg, to Budapest and Salonica, as well as
from Yerevan and Athens, to Alexandria and Chicago. It
primarily deals with the development of the universal
language of theatre, and, through extensive international
activities, gradually transforms into the theatre of the
world.
