Abstract

We are not happy until we see that we are moving on; and in order to get there, we need to get to know our past better. The master's thesis "Home is where we feel fine" is a research of the phenomenon of space, house, home, trauma and memory. Through theoretical research, thoughts are presented on how we can observe and analyze space, how we interpret the phenomenon of the duality of hoouse and home, but also how we can observe the modern performing practice – immersion. Relying on theoretical frameworks, and through artistic research and analysis of artistic references, this study tries to answer the following questions: How to stage a suddenly interrupted childhood? How to inscribe in some space the atmosphere of the traumatic process that occurred after the bombing? What does term house and the term home mean to an individua? The main goal of the research was to formulate one's own artistic poetics, which is a synthesis of philosophical, theoretical and artistic thought. The outcome of the entire research is the realization of an immersive theater event that was performed in several different spaces in Belgrade, within the gallery "Footnote - center for image and text", art hub "Kula", confectionery "Milica" and "Bitef Theater". In addition, it took place on several city streets, as well as in a minibus that transported visitors.
