čime se decentralizuju i problematizuju strogo hijerarhijski postavljene funkcije autora/ki u institucijama kulture.Tako je u njoj spojeno brutalno i gorko razbijanje stereotipa, pa čak i onog feminističkog, unutar kogaježena u tipičnoj ulozi žrtve, a svakako i pozorišnih i autorskih stereotipa. SELECTOR'S NOTE Jackie Kennedy / Medea is a production based on two provocative texts: one by the prestigious Austrian writer and Nobel Prize winner and the other by one of the most radical Croatian playwrights. The focus of both is on the archetypal interpretation of woman and the web woven around her by the ever-present misogyny. However, this viewing angle is too narrow for the two texts. They shed specific light on the universal human drama from the angle of the special, women's experience. This experience produces a gloomy existential picture showing the never-ending struggle to rid oneself from the imposed identities (identity of a woman in this case).The extreme form of this resistance, often futile, identifies different forms of the death of the personality. Jackie Kennedy in this production speaks from the position of someone who is no longer, someone who experiences the trauma of the forms of existence defined elsewhere. And yet, she returns to the identities expected of her, to the identification by clothes and gestures which are also her clothes. The subject of identity, which is not rare in modern plays, thus reveals her in the position of a woman dramatically situated in the general social and psychological context, expressed verbally and by the body, which is in itself a persuasive language of communication. This production is based on the research of a group of authors meaning that it also researches the model of collective authorship, decentralising many hierarchically established functions of the authors in the institutions of culture. It merges the brutal and bitter doing away with stereotypes, even including the feminist one casting the woman in the tragic role of a victim, and, needless to say, with stereotypes about theatre and authors.
