Tijana Grumić’s DO BIRDS HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR FUN? reminds us that the world is not and should not be anthropocentric. People are just one part of nature, and nature also has the right to grow, bloom, fly, sing, run, peck, even to have fun. It is for this reason that we have chosen a subtype of puppetry as the form of the play - the theater of objects. It reminds us that art shouldn’t always be anthropocentric either.
Man leaves things behind - personal items and intellectual creations, created to facilitate his survival or entertainment. However, these objects also have a life and experiences of their own. They attend many important events and historical moments that sometimes have direct consequences on them. With the advancement of technology, an increasing number of household items are acquiring new functions, now they can often sing, for example, or tell jokes, write plays, so why then couldn’t they act in theatre? On the other hand, we discard them all the more easily and, because of some minor defects, replace them with new versions.
