From June 21-24, 2001, DAH Teatar celebrates ten years of its existence. The first theater laboratory in Yugoslavia, at the time of its creation, broke the barrier of institutional theater organization and traditional theatrical language with its work and existence.
INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF THEATRICAL ARTISTS
In its artistic process, DAH Teatar shifts the boundaries of modern expression in our country, and expands the concept of theater to include movement, dance, and music, which become an integral part of the performance. Today, we can say that thanks to the existence and persistence of DAH Theatre, the circle of theater troupes has expanded, so for the first time we can talk about the existence of a non-institutional contemporary theater scene in this region. It is certain that our work has been an inspiration and support to our colleagues who have opted for this type of theater. DAH Teatar is also one of the founders of the Association of Independent Theaters – ANET, in Belgrade.
The broader activities of DAH Teatar, workshops, guest performances, festivals, united in the CENTER FOR THEATRICAL RESEARCH – have always been organized with the awareness of the need for this environment to open up, get acquainted with different trends, and learn from artists who already represent the tradition of contemporary theater of the 20th century. The workshops we have organized, both our own and guest ones, have been one of the oases of learning for young theater artists in Serbia in recent years.
