Tomoki / Tsurukam company

Tsurukam company, founded by Kaori Suzuki and Sébastien Vuillot.
Their goals are to raise audience awareness about cultural exchange, and to take advantage of their different artistic talents in the creation of their theatrical works.
Dancer Kaori Suzuki and actor Sébastian Vuillot, JAPAN – FRANCE.
“TOMOKI is the our son’s Japanese name… here it refers to a project which explores the soul, existence, nature, the cycle of life, the sacred, connection, heritage, transmission.. almost like a film about someone’s life. This solo includes elements of aerial choreography (suspended from a harness), dance, the use of props (Japanese parasols) and elements such as light and paper, as well as puppetry. There is no text but the character is accompanied by a complex soundscape (music, songs and sound effects).”

10 years of Le Petit Festival by Zeljko Tutnjevic

Enjoy the exclusive photo exhibition, portraying 10 years of Le Petit Festival behind the eyes of Dubrovnik’s photographer Zeljko Tutnjevic.

Željko Tutnjević is not a photographer… He is not an actor. He is not a writer… He is not a philosopher… He is not a seducer… He is not a painter. But in his photographs you will sense all of those “nots”! Much more real… He is a creator of the moment.

Introduction to MEISNER TECHNIQUE

A unique opportunity for those interested in the work of the actor, director Steven Ditmyer, New York.

`Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances’

It offers an introduction to the Meisner Technique, which was developed by Sanford Meisner at The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City where he taught for more than 50 years – and where I had the privilege of being one of his students.

ln his work at the Playhouse, Meisner trained many of our most distinguished actors and directors, including Robert Duvall, Sydney Pollack, Tony Randall, Christopher Lloyd, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Joanne Woodward, Steve McQueen, Jeff Goldblum, Allison Janney and many more.

The technique is based on truth. Meisner said, “Acting is the ability to live truthfully under given imaginary circumstances.”

My Happy Funeral – C´EST PLUS DIFFICILE D’AIMER QUE DE MOURIR

The upcoming performance “To love is more difficult than to die”, in Hanko, Finland, will be a World Premiere, something you probably have not seen or imagined before.

This United Artists Project started in March 2009 another Vinko Prizmic endeavor paradoxically entitled My Happy Funeral. This undertaking has gathered and involved more than 888 artists from all 6 continents. My Happy Funeral (actually a series of many happy little funerals) is a light game of metaphysical enchantment about a poor poet still searching for the beauty of the unknown, still grappling with the question, ” Why do we die and how long will our death last?…”

Along with this exquisite voyage will be presented two magical machines, by French wizard of mechanical movements Gilbert Peyre.

Traveling to six continents carrying one’s own coffins is a wondrously daring tour… embarked upon to enlighten the living with the metaphysical concept of a divergent view of the end of life. It cannot be described as a theater piece, nor as a performance act. It cannot be embraced in any known art form because nobody ever has ever served as a traveling ambassador of the sensitive, emotional and painful subject of death.

“To love is more difficult than to die” is a world premier of a brazen attempt to cause one to look past the defined boundaries of discussing the inevitable.
