The People

VN is an open type project. That means we are not bound by set-ensemble logic of a fixed number of constant members. With each new project someone new comes or someone leaves. This list contains all, who regularly collaborate in VN projects and at this moment perform in VN performances.

Marko Mandić

An actor and a performer, an established presence in his native Slovenia and an emerging theatre star in the international arena. This was confirmed by the selection of his work by Shooting Stars at the 2007 Berlinale and by numerous awards he has received for his work. He graduated from Ljubljana Academy of Theatre and then supplemented his studies at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and the HB Studio in New York for two years. He is a permanent member of the repertory ensemble cast at Slovene National Theatre Drama. In Via Negativa projects (Starting Point: Anger, Would Would Not, Viva Verdi) he collaborates with convincing stage power and his search for actor’s truth on stage, aware of its representational functions: “The only moment that has nothing to do with acting is ejaculation. I can’t act that.” (from the performance Would Would Not, 2005)
