Eurokaz FestivalThe International Festival of New Theatre - "TITO - the Fourth Way"27 June 2007 - 04 July 2007 NEW THEATRE, BEGINNINGSEurokaz was created as a support and platform for a small area of twentieth century theatre history that had, in the now distant eighties, stirred up Europe and initiated a number of bold impulses that had arrived from the fields of technology and science, visual arts, new media, dance and movement - also rejecting a prevailing logo-centric order of the time. The theatre signalled by the Eurokaz festival claimed to draw attention to the different attempts being made by serious art groups and directors towards liberating theatre from the ideology of text, political and utopian thought and indeed from any teleological blows of such kind; from all the prerogatives that had marked the student theatre of the sixties and which had settled into institutions during the seventies. By the end of the eighties these breakthroughs had collected under the somewhat unfortunate and dull name of new theatre and had, in time, evolved their own varying stylistic differences. Since its beginning in 1987 EUROKAZ has presented over 300 artists and companies from all over the world and is considered the major theatre festival in the region. EUROKAZ is not limited by genre. It encompasses theatre, dance, performance and other related art forms. The concept behind the programme emphasises innovation and the impulses that change our habits of perception and push the developments in theatre forward. EUROKAZ often dedicates sections of its programme to specific themes which investigate contemporary theatre phenomena, such as; iconoclastic theatre, post-mainstream, body art, new dramaturgy, new circus and many others. Sometimes the themes reflect the situation of theatre and dance in specific geographical regions (i.e. new Italian theatre, contemporary dance in Africa, Latin America, Japan, Asian traditional theatre, new generation of French directors, American West Coast technological theatre etc.). In addition to the international programme, EUROKAZ regularly showcases certain sections of the local scene, from independent Croatian companies to innovative performances produced by repertory and national theatres.
