Creation Of Eve

OOUR
concept & choreography: Selma Banich, Sandra Banić i Oliver Frljić

The co-authorship initiative OOUR was established by a group of authors from different fields of art who are willing to research the limitations of their own authorial dispositions and oppositional friction within the given performative concepts. So far the co-authorship initiative OOUR created and performed: Limb (2003), blackbox-the first box (2004), orangecut (2004), to be confirmed (2005) and H (2006). The group performed its productions at the various theatre events and dance festivals in Croatia and abroad (Spain, Germany). Creation of Eve is OOUR’s first collaboration with the theatre director Oliver Frljić. OOUR productions are copylefted.

Maja, by working solely on its own production and towards an object that is repeatedly colonized by certain perceptual strategies, a body in its duration produces the specific pleasure of watching that consist of the fact of the viewer’s observing his or her own observation. And that way the viewer is included into his or her own regime of objectification and affected by the totalitarian movement that tries to take possession of all positions. The situation in which the appearance of the totalitarian also functions as the realization of a project of a new community, a community in which totalitarianization becomes the only mode of joining, becomes the space of articulation of a different political, but also performative, discourse.
