Site-specific theater – sometimes called environmental theater – is a performance which can only be done in a particular place or site. The physical constraints and characteristics of the site are used as part of the performance. Every site has a peculiar physical feautres to interact with. Site-specific theater uses the properties, qualities and meaning found at/on a given site.
This form of theater emphasizes particular images, stories and events that reveal the complex relationship between ourselves and our physical environment.
Also one of the greatest dramatic opportunities of site-specific theater is that, by staging its action in appropriate real-world settings rather than in settings within traditional theater spaces, it gives performances greater authenticity and audience engagement.
Goal of this project is to create site-specific performance using space in front, around, inside and above Duplex and 10m2 galleries. Although entirely depended on the development of the process, the performance will largely constitute a multi-layered exploration of the site and all of its possibilities.
This site-specific performance seeks to create an open, innovative and evolving work that will discover DREAM as a symbol and question line between sub consciousness and hallucination creating an atmosphere which will invite spectators into its surrealism.
Working title is “Theydream” (they instead of day in daydream). Performing Artists involved will bring a number of skills to the development process including, physical theater, contemporary dance, circus/acrobatic elements and music together with a mixture of staging conventions.
They envisage to arrive to the creative process with an idea only, creating the entirety of the piece from scratch in the space chosen, thus adding to the truth of the atmosphere they wish to explore and exhibit.

T h e y d r e a m je site-specific performans kojim kroz temu snova učesnici istražuju intimni doživljaj Sarajeva i prostor galerije Duplex/10m2. Premijerno prikazivanje će se održati 3. Septembra 2010 u 20 h. Performans će biti upotpunjen multimedijalnom izložbom radova nekolicine umjetnika koji su vizuelno oblikovali vlastiti doživljaj procesa nastanka performansa.
Saša Krga - Srbija, Elma Selman - Bosna i Hercegovina, Azra Ibrahimović - Hrvatska, Sanela Hasanović – Australija i Šefko Obućina - Srbija umjetnici su različitih vještina na polju scenskih/izvedbenih umjetnosti. Projekt T h e y d r e a m nastao je iz želje za propitivanjem zajedničkog osjećaja povezanosti sa gradom Sarajevom. Za komunikaciju ovog osjećaja koriste fizički teatar, savremeni ples, cirkuske vještine, elemente akrobacija i muziku.
Statement umjetnika:
U sam prostor galerije DUPLEX/ 10m2 stigli smo ne znajući mnogo jedni o drugima, ali sa snažnom vjerom u ideju koju želimo istražiti. Naš odnos odnos kao i performans proizašli su iz impulsa otkrivenih tokom samog istraživanja. Kroz intenzivan i inovativan kreativni proces ispitivali smo liniju između svijesti i halucinacija na svim nivoima i u svim interpretacijama snova: kao izraza nesvjesnih želja, strasti, tjeskoba ili trauma, i snova kao odraza vlastite memorije. Istraživali smo razliku između iluzije i stvarnosti i nudili vlastite snove i istine kao početnu tačku stvaranja izvornog osjećaja u radu. Proces je bio vrlo ogoljen i intenzivan za sve koji su sudjelovali u njemu. Stoga smo otvorili probe za različite umjetnike da dođu i svjedoče ljudskoj strani onoga što je potrebno da se stvori jedan kompleksan i duboko intiman performans. Želja je bila da im prenesemo emociju kao podsticaj za njihovu umjetničku ekspresiju i širenje krea(k)tivne energije.
