Ceremony (2017)

What is the relationship between Manchester in 2018 and the Russian Revolution of 1917? The German philosopher Friedrich Engels, who wrote the Communist Manifesto with Karl Marx, lived for years in this British industrial city. Through this founder of communist theory, artist Phil Collins investigates what remains of his ideas in today's United Kingdom. How would Engels view the world today? And has anything changed for 'the working poor'? 

Dark Ages (2015)

What happens when beliefs collapse and empires fall? In The Dark Ages, Milo Rau explores the shattered foundations of Europe between 1945 and 1995—from the fall of the Third Reich to the siege of Sarajevo. Five actors from Bosnia, Serbia, Germany, and Russia offer personal testimonies of war, exile, and survival. Their stories are told through live performance, video, and music by Slovenian band Laibach, creating a haunting psychoanalysis of a broken continent.

1:Songs (2010)

SONGS is a solo concert-performance where the voice becomes a battlefield for tragic heroines of the past—Antigone, Medea, Gretchen. Through spoken word, song, and electronic music, the performer channels their pain, fragility, and resistance.

Encyclopedia of the Dead (2004)

Encyclopedia of the Dead is an intimate journey through memory, fiction, and loss. Performed by Sanja Mitrović amidst living plants and audience members, the piece weaves a quiet resistance to spectacle through spoken word. In an age dominated by images, the performance revives the power of storytelling as a radical act—blurring the line between real and imagined, presence and absence.
