Glej Theatre (Slovenia): Su and Sid - I did it my way - -

27. Friday 19:30     Old Synagogue

240'

Glej Theatre has been a milestone of the Slovenian fringe scene. Founded in 1970, the first among experimental theatres that were emerging in the seventies, Glej launched a wholly new
generation of authors, directors and actors as well as an aesthetics that put Slovenia on the theatrical map through successful participation in several international festivals. Glej lived
through the nineties with young and more radical groups of artists who are further developing the non-verbal, physical performing art expression.

Su and Sid, as most of the director’s performances, is also a dance performance. This time the usual combination of dancing and acting is supplemented by events shown on three television
screens, which the actors move around on the stage by means of special stands. The original score (composed by MC Brane especially for this performance) is occasionally interrupted by Sinatra, Sex Pistols and dialogues from tapes for fast learning of foreign languages. In this way the author separates what is happening into two levels: reality and fiction. Here and there these two levels interleave and extend over one another.

The topic and motives of the performance  are taken from the everyday world. The central
character, a guy named Sid, is defined by his relationship with three women: his wife, his mistress and his girlfriend. The full world, almost too full, sometimes drives him into the realm of fantasies, but sometimes even into a suicidal state. In that state he expresses his fury and rage by tormenting and torturing himself and by listening to Sex Pistols.
