Second day. The festival is gaining momentum.
Two "Medeas"
"The
performances played today will inevitably be compared.
"Medeas" are based on different sources: the Yakuts
(Stepanida Borisova) were founded upon the text by Heiner
Müller, and Slovenes (Mojtina Jurcer) turned to myth, to
the deep layers of world culture. Even outside these
actresses can create two completely different images.
Context - a familiar audience of Moscow Ginkas’s "Medea",
hack the form of tragedy.
"Medea’s Scream" plays at the intersection of sound-drama
and "theater of cruelty." Not one word does not say during
her mysterious magical manipulation of table, which
constitute the main scenographic finding of Slovenian
performance, Mojtina Jurcer: only whispers, noises,
knockings and sounds of running water and
sand
grinding sounds, cries, the resonances create a unique
symphony of this performance experiment. ….
Final artist plays on the table; rising vertically from top
to bottom passes through the whole world, but that table -
it is also the prototype stage in the European theater
culture.
Expressive performance: The goal of Slovenians - to hold
the audience into the inner world of Medea. Symbolically
important task is contained in the name of the theater
"Inner World Theatre" - this is a very subjective
experience, an attempt to break beyond the visible world to
the hidden nature of things."

"The
church Santa Maria dei Battuti, packed as ever, welcomed
and applauded the hard "Medea's Scream," a co-production
Slovenian, Croatian and Montenegrin, with the sole
protagonist, Mojtina Jurcer, who has explored the tragedy
of Euripides, proposed with an acting full of verve and
pathos, making the current figure of Medea while renouncing
the word as a means of communication. Sašo Jurcer is a
director attentive to detail, innovative and scratchy, full
of ideas, a show well packaged that never expire in
rhetoric and repetition."
PANORAMA Croatia
"What is the core of Mojtina Jurcer's acting virtuosity? It
is the virtuoso technique of talent, i.e. the technique
that per definition cannot be learned and cannot be
distributed as it is absolute and self-sufficient – it is
the individual result based on the 'internal wealth' of the
artist and on the direct rendering of personal
expressiveness."
VEČER
Slovenia
"Especially impressive were symbols, physical objects and
materialized tragic and agony … representation and only one
actress, which articulated the whole tragic of this ancient
drama with movements of the body and voices, vocals,
screams that caused the hair on skin stand on end. In every
voice, every movement there was painfulness, tragic and
tragedy that expressed actress Mojtina Jurcer."
POBJEDA Montenegro
"Revenge, which was simultaneously a betrayal of her own
being, vibrated through the actress's taut body filled with
anger and despair trying to set off on a new self-search
via the rituals on the witchcraft table.
... slow meditative movements suddenly turn into a
succession of stormy modern-dance elements; the scream
slams into the painful reality the distant voices of
spiritual levitation; objects on the ritual table symbolise
a transcendental journey ..."
RADIO STUDENT Slovenia
"Solo performer Mojtina Jurcer ... expressively conjures up
the inner landscape of Medea’s world."
DNEVNIK Slovenia
“Honor that first time performs on sacred island of Our
Lady Of The Rock had Mojtina Jurcer, co- founder and member
of Inner World Theatre from Slovenia. She has presented
non-verbal solo performance Medea Scream and the audience
was trilled with her ability. She presented last hours of
Medea life with facial expression, gesture and scream. That
was the first theatre performance allowed on this
artificial made island ever.”
DAN Montenegro
“Mojtina Jurcer, Medea from Slovenia, without any words in
non-verbal theatre in which she performed with whole being,
with physical and facial expressions, with body movements,
yell, sounds, shout, with materialized desperation.
RADIO KOTOR Montenegro
The Slovenian actress Mojtina Jurcer enters on scene with a
bag of jute from which throws a dismembered doll on the
table, and gives life to a performance without words
expressing the rage and madness, revenge and redemption
denied, in a paroxysm/oxymorons game in which the maternal
caresses followed obsessive-compulsive disorders (movement
of objects which clash on the boards, filling glasses,
drowning the doll's head). The proof of an actress is in
any case extraordinary: Mojtina Jurcer captures with her
eyes and through body movements and ability to convey the
agony of heroin noir par excellence, who kills his brother
for love and kill her children in revenge for Jason and
prevent him from having offspring.
