Mothers in the Official Competition of the 36th Marulić Days

Mothers, directed by Rajna Racz, has been selected for the official competition of the 36th Marulić Days Festival of Croatian Drama, Croatia's leading festival dedicated to Croatian dramatic writing and theatre. This marks our second appearance at the festival, following Girls, directed by Tjaša Črnigoj.

Mothers will be performed at the Split Youth Theatre on 22 April 2026 at 6:00 p.m. We are delighted that the festival selection has recognised our work and that, after performing primarily abroad, we will once again be part of a Croatian festival and the country's performing arts scene.

Mothers explores the decision to become a mother through personal testimonies, movement, and music, creating a reflection on social norms, freedom of choice, and women's intimate experiences. The production is a co-production of Kolektiv Igralke, Ulysses Theatre, House of Nahero (Croatia), and Maska Ljubljana (Slovenia). It premiered last year as part of the Ulysses Theatre programme and has since toured a number of regional stages, including Ljubljana, Zagreb, Skopje, and Belgrade.

One thing we truly regret is that Mothers has only been performed once in Rijeka, in a sold-out performance as part of the Rijeka Summer Nights festival. At the moment, we have no opportunity to present it there again due to the lack of a suitable venue for performing arts.
