Europe Today is a theatre show produced in cooperation betweenEast West Theatre Company andSlovene National Theatre.[1] The show is based on an essay written byMiroslav Krleza and directed byHaris Pasovic. Production also includedMiki Manojlovic, an actor;Edward Clug, a contemporary dancer and choreographer; as well as the industrial, neoclassical bandLaibach.[2] The dramaturgy of the production was done by Dubravka Vrgoc, director of Zagreb Youth Theatre. The artists, who reside in Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, rehearsed inMaribor'sSlovene National Theatre during February 2011. The show opened February 16 and it provoked great regional and international interest.[3]
The poster image forEurope Today depicts an SA-style trooper, but instead of the swastika, his armband and the flag he carries show the 12 stars of the EU. The image is partly playful, a homage to theNeue Slowenische Kunst art movement whose most prominent exponents, the bandLaibach, are collaborators in this Serbian-Bosnian-Croatian-Slovenian-Romanian-created work, which in 2011 played inMaribor,Slovenia andSarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina. The show is a 75-minute collage of words and images: Serbian actorMiki Manojlović recites Krleža’s words, Romanian-born dancer and choreographerEdward Clug represents its arguments in movement while Laibach performs a number of radically reimagined European national anthems.[4]
