[…] For “normal” theatergoers, the format of the staging is surely very unusual. One has to leave the familiar paths of cultural consumption and engage in something completely new and, above all, unfamiliar. Another place, a very special level of experience, as one is alone with the work in a different temporal dimension. Trickster-p breaks different ground and we can only recommend to embrace the unusual. It’s well worth it!

What then is time? If no one asks me, I know; if I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.

The game

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

Eutopia

The stories of the Earth have changed in nature and scale: we do not write stories to tell about the creation or the course of the world, but to avert its end.

Book is a Book is a Book

Ts'ui Pen must have said once: I am withdrawing to write a book. And another time: I am withdrawing to construct a labyrinth. Every one imagined two works; to no one did it occurred that the book and the maze were one and the same thing.

French line

Trickster-p — Projects — French line

Conceived by Trickster-p for Go!2025 – Nova Gorica and Gorizia European Capital of Culture, the performance draws inspiration on a historical event that deeply shaped the region of Gorizia: the border line established in February 1947 by the victors of World War II, dividing Italy from Yugoslavia. "French line" was the notice many local people found on signs marking this new boundary, which cut through their streets, fields, and yards, turning Gorizia into a border town in every respect. Created in collaboration with Quarantasettezeroquattro (Italy), the project breaks away from traditional theatrical spaces to take place in domestic settings, where small groups of spectators are immersed in a participatory experience. At the heart of the work are historical testimonies and archival materials—letters, objects, documents, oral accounts—which become tools to explore how personal and collective memory shapes our perception of the present and the construction of individual identity. French line investigates borders not only as geographical or political divisions, but as symbolic and inner spaces—places that influence how we see ourselves, the 'others', and the world around us.
