Pandur.Theaters is an international theatre organisation founded in 2002 by stage director and the most successful Slovene representative of postdramatic theatre Tomaž Pandur and dramaturge Livia Pandur. Blending various forms of artistic expression into a unique stage language, Pandur.Theatres gathers artists from different parts of the world in a multi-cultural and multilingual theatre laboratory.



Background

Theatre director Tomaž Pandur started developing his authentic and creative approach to theatre already prior to his graduation at the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television with his theatre productions in the frame of the Thespis' Wagon - The New Slovene Theatre. The play that turned the then promising director into a well-known and even controversial author was the 1989 production of Scheherazade [Šeherezada], produced by Mladinsko Theatre, which received all the first prizes and laurel wreaths at the International Theatre Festival MESS in Sarajevo and was also extremely well received by the audiences, as it remained on repertoire for over 10 seasons. From 1989 to 1996, Pandur was the Artistic Director of the Drama unit of the Slovene National Theatre Maribor, where he started realising his theatrical visions with plays such as Faust (1991), Hamlet (1992), Carmen (1993), Divine Comedy (1994), Russian Mission [Ruska misija] (1995), co-produced by Steirischer Herbst, Austria, etc.

Themes, preoccupations, and approaches

From the very beginnings, Pandur's productions evince an avid interest in the capital works of world spiritual heritage, drawing on and from the greatest literary authors, literary figures, myths, narratives and personalities. Serving as an inspiration, Pandur tackles these great themes in an entirely new way, combining literary, musical, visual, dance, and movement elements into a theatrical form of its own right. It is said that his theatre is multicultural, as it draws on Western as well as non-Western (theatre) practices, ranging from Balinese dance, Noh, Dervish dances, Commedia dell Arte, Butoh, Biomechanics, to mention but a few. In terms of genre, Pandur has directed pure dramatic theatre plays, a ballet Alas (2006), produced by Compania Nacional de Danza, Madrid, Spain, and two operas, however the bulk of his productions are extremely hybrid in the sense of post-dramatic theatre. Always fluid and diffuse, his productions are characterised by an an intermedia approach in which text, printed letters, video, photography, sound and signs make a separate and equally valuable instrumentarium for making theatre.
