THEATRE Tekst / Words: Ana Kalaba Fotografije / Photography: Predrag Ilić, Dah teatar, Promo BEZ GRANICA LE STUDIO LE STUDIO WITHOUT BORDERS Belgrade’s theatre season is opened each year by the prestigious BITEF (Belgrade International Theatre Festival), which provides a review of new creative approaches to theatre from around the world, setting new challenges – both for prestigious Belgrade theatres and for the alternative scene. This alternative scene seems to provide even more room to explore theatrical expression, more freedom to experiment, more topics for engagement etc. And here’s what that looks like in the Serbian capital

T eatar Le Studio su osnovali francuski reditelj Žan-Batist Demarinji i scenografkinja Sanja Maljković po uzoru na francusku pozorišnu kulturu alternativnih skrivenih pozorišta. Le Studio je skriven u naizgled napuštenoj industrijskoj zgradi u Poenkareovoj ulici, a ni enterijer nije standar- dan – publika sedi na foteljama, kaučevima, stolicama, pri čemu distanca u odnosu na scenu gotovo da ne po- stoji. Izbor predstava je takav da ostavlja prostor za im- provizaciju na raznim nivoima – trenutno su na reperto- aru komedija Raspareni par , koncertna predstava Tom Vejtsov Vojcek , drama Istrajnost , kabare Čikago ... A kad se zavesa spusti, počinje žurka, na kojoj se ekipa pred- stave u opuštenoj atmosferi druži s publikom. L e Studio Theatre was co-founded by French theatre di- rector Jean-Baptiste Demarigny and Serbian scenogra- pher Sanja Maljković, modelled on the French theatre culture of alternative hidden theatres. Le Studio is “hid- den” in a seemingly deserted industrial building in Poenkareo- va Street, and the interior isn’t standard either – the audience sits on armchairs, couches, chairs, while there is almost no dis- tance between them and the stage. The selection of plays is such that it leaves room for improvisation at various levels - the cur- rent repertoire includes the comedy The Odd Couple, Tom Wait’s art musical Woyzeck, the drama Perseverance, the cabaret show Chicago etc. And when the curtains fall a party starts, at which the performance team socialises with the audience in a relaxed atmosphere.
