The Paradox of Justice – European Laboratory Theatre Coproduction (JUSTLAB) is an international project co-financed by Creative Europe program of the European Union from December 2022 until end of November 2024.
The project is developed in cooperation of three partners, PLAVO theatre – theatre laboratory from Serbia, TheaterlaborBielefeld from Germany and Grotowski Institute from Poland.
The coproduction will raise awareness, enhance dialog and empathy among audience and promote societal resilience by critical reaction to different aspects of injustice in contemporary Europe, rise of violence and crisis of democratic values, which is most visible in rise of right-wing ideologies, relation towards migrants, women and socially marginalized groups, as well as in reckless destruction of nature.
Main activities include laboratory work in performance creation, testing methodologies and workshops with local audience, particularly disadvantaged groups, performing in Poland, Germany and Serbia with live streaming and interpretation into Sign language, making online Archive of Knowledge.

The work on a co-production consists of several phases. Prior to a mutual work of all artists involved, a laboratory theatrical work takes place in each partner organisation and lasts for several months. The laboratory work contains creation of performing materials including different types of the actors’ trainings, body and voice work, work with music and instruments etc. The phase of the laboratory work of each ensemble is documented in videos with the aim of presenting to the audience the methodology of work and steps taken in the performance creation in laboratory theatre.
