Rijeka’s
Rubicon Theatre is unique in Croatia in their approach to theatre and
the only theatrical group to have dedicated entirely to movement as a
means of theatrical expression. In its exploration and implementation of
movement they have achieved remarkable maturity.

Communication with shows of Rubicon Theatre means liberation of the need
to rationally interpret the seen and the heard. You are expected to
subdue to your stream of consciousness, to excitements of your senses
and to unclear feelings. If you allow yourself such a half (sub)
conscious perceptive state, in seemingly cold and mathematically
calculated dynamic of space filled with bodies manipulated into objects,
you will recognize yourself, the world, the sadness and the poetry.

The highlight of the festival’s progamme has been the performance of
Rubicon Theatre. In the context of the festival dubbed as “the vision of
future” Rubicon Theatre has offered an intriguing artistic and musical
dimension of communication.

Nula is a powerful combination of movement, picture and sound.

The approach of
Rubicon Theatre is studious and disciplined and theatrical work for them
means deliberately staging a problem extremely hard to solve and trying
to solve it by theatrical exploration. As a result their productions are
special and unique.

“Nula” is a
furious wave of movement, light and sound whose tempo is fast and
exhausting from beginning to end. It fills a unique space between ballet
and drama in an exciting way.

Imaginative
choreography full of new and surprising solutions, interesting dance of
the background and adequate music all make this show an exciting and
aesthetically brilliant production which may be dubbed as constructivism
but certainly shows imaginative directorial and choreographical artistry.

“Nula”-
uncompromising physical, biomechanical theatre.
M. Kalajžić
Powerful, balanced and unusually mature show.

Originally created show which Rijeka`s cultural scene needs.

The merits of this production are such that it would without a doubt be
a valuable addition to Week of Contemporary Dance in Zagreb.

Nula, a
decisive and excellent work, warns and brings our theatrical audiences
closer to the “open” language of physical theatre, to exciting
associations provoked by collision and harmony of movement and sound.

The consistency of their work is such that the future should see them
crossing the boundaries of a local theatre scene.

Beside
acting techniques (mime and biomechanics), Rubicon uses the laws of
physical theories in their productions which makes them unique in
Croatia’s theatre world. By deconstructing and constructing anew
geometrical shapes which become a dynamic element of the show, Peranic
creates visually attractive moving pictures.

Reviews of the performance
InterNetWork
Amid a growing tension, body structures
were becoming more and more complicated until the fascinating finale
which gathered all the performers into an assembly almost literally
floating in the air.

As a pioneer in applying theory of chaos in Croatia`s theatre Peranic
successfully connects seemingly chaotic scenes into firm structure,
demonstrating how each improvisation ends in a moment of „organized
chaos“ (so called deterministic chaos) and how human relationships
remain trapped by contemporary mass media which turned people into
machines and destroyed individuality.

The stage was surrounded with big glass water containers. The
predominant feature of the show is the dynamics, moving in monotony,
creating feelings and constantly destroying them.

Reviews of the performance
Aspects of Alice
...her wonderland on the other side of the mirrors is created in an
extremely abstract way with an unusual light being the only definition
of space.... Unlike previous projects which were marked by openess and
emanation of energy Aspects Of Alice lives in a completely enclosed form
which implodes in inner exhaustions.

Reviews of the performance
Katarina na travi (K.on the grass)
In Katarina na travi, named after Catarina De Medici but obviously
inspired by the Chereus`movie „Queen Margot“, the director determined
aleatory of space enabling the performers to realize their dancing
inspirations in collaboration with the audience which, as if on a
picnic, were freely moving amongst them. The relaxed ways of the
audience clashing with the directorial horror of movements which were
achieved with a complete self control made the performers stand out of
the mass.

The show is dominated by sudden exchanges of light and dark and by
modelling the space with changing functions of picture.
