About the performance:

Maja, by working solely on its own production and towards an object that is repeatedly colonised by certain perceptual strategies, a body in its duration produces the specific pleasure of watching that consist of the fact that the viewer is observing his or her own observation. Thus, 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 totalitarization becomes the only mode of joining, becomes the space of articulation of a different political, but also performative, discourse

About the company:

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), H (2006), Creation of Eve (2006), Salon (2007), Chew (2007) and Whitebox (2008). The group performed its productions at the various theatre events and dance festivals in Croatia and abroad. Creation of Eve is OOUR's first collaboration with the theatre director Oliver Frljić. OOUR productions are copylefted.
