Director Rajna Racz reimagines this intimate monologue on the stage of Mala Gavella as a multi-voiced performance for several performers, foregrounding the layered, visceral quality of Tomi\u010di\u0107\u2019s writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Text by: Espi Tomi\u010di\u0107 \/ Director: Rajna Racz \/ Cast: Matija Ga\u0161pari, Domagoj Jankovi\u0107, Antonija Stani\u0161i\u0107 \u0160peranda, Sven Medve\u0161ek, Laura Kaliger \/ Set Designer: Sara Haas \/ Costume Designer: Petra Bobi\u0107 \/ Dramaturgs: Rajna Racz and Jan Samek \/ Composer: Marin \u017divkovi\u0107 \/ Lighting Designer: Zdravko Stolnik \/ Movement Director and Choreographer: Matea Bilosni\u0107 \/ Assistant Set Designer: Davor Horvat \/ Visual Identity: Ivona \u0110ogi\u0107 \u0110uri\u0107 \u2013 Crtaona Studio<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Espi Tomi\u010di\u0107<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1995) is a dramaturge and writer whose work engages with intimate, political, and socially relevant themes, with a focus on gender equality, queer experience, and the transformative power of theatre.
