ISTER TEATAR

ISTER was the name of the Danube River in classical antiquity, the river that connects two different worlds, two different civilizations. The Ister Theatre was founded in 1994 as a theatre company whose work is characterized by investigation and establishment of links between dance and drama techniques into physical theatre. The work on personal stories, authentic observation of the world, concrete emotions is of crucial importance for the creation of theatre pieces and performances that attempt to draw the attention to truth about the surroundings we live in. Provocation rather than answer. Space as a venue of communication significantly determines work on street performances that are also important segment of Ister practice.
Ister Theatre participated at numerous festivals and performed in Serbia as well as in Bulgaria, Rumania, Great Britain, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, Egypt. Ister is one of the founding members of the ANET (Association of Independent Theatres) as well as STATION – Service for Contemporary Dance
