About the performance:
Social drama Our Warehouse for which Tjaša Mislej won the 2020 “Slavko Grum” Award is a witty drama from our surroundings and time. Explaining the granting of the award, the jury stated: “Four invisible female workers, warehouse workers, in the dystopian world of hyper-super-mega-max-stores, hidden from the eyes of customers and the public, arrange food items from large and small boxes on shelves, stick labels on imported goods, move full and empty packaging up and down, then back again... in infinite uniformity.
Director on the performance:
Through humor and communicative dramatic style, we follow the stories of women and the main and very painful, contemporary topic of exploitation of female labor, which is forced to sacrifice its health, beauty, soul, relationships and family and social life...
Comments on the performance:
"All registers of text are preserved in the direction of Mateja Kokol, and the description "abasically sad comedy” is particularly accurate. The staging comes to life either in an intense comic play (when workers get out of the routine - seducing a new worker, consoling over "lost talents" ...) or in great sadness and friendly compassion. ... "
