Poza Institute has co-produced the theatre and music projects of its founder, Ljubljana-based actor, director, musician and translator Jure Novak, since it was established in 2009. Novak is best-known for a highly acclaimed trilogy of plays, directed by him and developed with actor Katarina Stegnar and playwright Urška Brodar. They explore, respectively, depression, aggression and transgression.


Theatre

The first, Jure Novak: Zato sem srečen (Jure Novak: Reasons To Be Happy), premiered at Glej Theatre in December 2011, and was part of the Drugajanje Festival in 2012 and the Prelet Festival in 2013. Like all the plays in the trilogy, it was produced by Glej and co-produced by Poza. Katarina po naročilu (Katarina on Demand) followed in 2015, with subsequent performances at the Mladi Levi Festival and Prelet in the same year, at the Week of Slovenian Drama in 2016, and at the Trigger Festival in 2020.

Orgija (Orgy), the final play in the trilogy and the first to feature all three writers performing on stage together, premiered at Glej in November 2017, with the HNK Zajc theatre in Rijeka, where some of the script was developed, joining Poza on the co-production team. Support was also provided by the Slovenian Embassy in Zagreb. The play was subsequently revived at the 2019 Sex and Theatre Festival, which was organised by Mladinsko Theatre and the Maska Institute.

Music

Novak also performs as one half of the experimental punk cabaret duo Natriletno kolobarjenje s praho with multi-instrumentalist Uroš Buh. Their second album, Iz konteksta (2018), featured executive production from Poza.
