BRIJUNI, A Necroromantic Theatre(2021)

In the 1950s and 1960s The African and Asian leaders from the Non Alignment Movement arrived to the Yugoslavian island Brioni with their cages in varying sizes and thus revived an almost 2500 years old tradition.

Brioni became a microcosm that represented an imagined widespread community.
