ČVOR - Kolektiv Igralke (HR) & Žiga Divjak (SLO)

KNOT – Kolektiv Igralke (HR) & Žiga Divjak (SLO) In partnership with the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc, Rijeka welcomes “Knot”, a theatre project created by Kolektiv Igralke and Slovenian director and dramaturg Žiga Divjak. “If we prepare for war, we will get war.” Something is tightening. We can all feel it. In our bodies, in our cities, in our language. The performance “Knot” explores the tension created when preparing for war begins to be presented as the only reasonable way to protect the future. Through a series of small and personal situations, the performance examines how large political processes such as militarisation, fear, and the loss of future perspectives enter everyday life. War is not presented only through weapons and budgets, but through emotions, relationships, and the ways society changes under pressure. Rijeka provides a unique context for this story – a city shaped by the history of labour, industry, shipbuilding, wars, and broken promises. “Knot” asks: what happens when the future begins to be built around military production again, and what can we create from the ruins of the past? 🎭 Director & dramaturg: Žiga Divjak ✍️ Text by: Žiga Divjak, Klara Kovačić, Anja Sabol, Vanda Velagić 🎬 Cast: Klara Kovačić, Anja Sabol, Vanda Velagić 🎨 Set design: Igor Vasiljev 💡 Lighting design: Marin Lukanović, Žiga Divjak ⏱️ Duration: 2 hours (without intermission) The production is a co-production of Kolektiv Igralke and Maska Ljubljana, in partnership…
