Founded in 2006 by stage director Sašo Jurcer and actress Mojtina Jurcer, Jurcer is a private non-for-profit organisation, a producer of performances by Inner World Theatre. Rejecting the mimetic foundations of the Western theatre tradition, the Inner World Theatre aims for a transposition of the boundaries between performance, physical theatre, contemporary dance, and modern opera.
Inner World Theatre
In a decade of research in tandem with the actress Mojtina Jurcer, Sašo Jurcer has developed a theatre system, 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. In Jurcer's performances the actor's body becomes an intersection of the movement and the dynamics of consciousness, its contact, collision and intertwining with, and transition from the external world into the world of inner mental states.
Performances and international cooperation
Jurcer produced Hamlet/Enjoy in 2001, which was re-staged in 2006 in a revised version and under the title Hamlet/Dreams [Hamlet/Sanje] at the Zadar Snova Festival of Contemporary Theatre (Croatia), at the Armmono4 Festival in Yerevan (Armenia), and the I-Fest Best of European Solo Performances in Chicago (USA). Jurcer's other productions include A Cup of Chocolate [Skodelica čokolade], Self-portrait [Avtoportret] (2005), Anatomy Of Loneliness [Anatomija osamljenosti] (2007), and Medea's Scream (2008), co-produced by Eẋ Ponto International Festival, Slovene National Theatre Maribor, Festival Teuta – New Ancient Theatre (Montenegro), and Zadar Snova Festival (Croatia). This show, originally conceived to be presented in outdoor and unconventional spaces, particularly venues of great visual and architectonic impact, can be presented at virtually any venue, traditional or not, due to its great flexibility of scenic elements.
