An Actor Is... An Actor Is... An Actor

Laurence Olivier would say: Cut an actor underneath the actor, you’ll find another actor.

Playing his monodramas An actor is... An actor is... An actor, Cabares, Cabarei and Stork brought me as a baby, yeah right in the past years, Zijah Sokolović epitomized the type of theater of a single-actor who is the author and the director and the actor and the audience. And when he brings the audience up on the stage, playing a certain scene together with them, he himself turns into an audience member, and together with the audience, laughs at the audience on stage and in the auditorium.

He created his own theater from within himself, and reduced the theater to himself. It is not theater of an actor whose text has been written for him by an author, whose set has been designed by a set designer, whose mise en scène has been directed by a director, whose music has been composed by a composer. No, it is the unique case of theater in which the actor is everything, in which the actor becomes the actor-author.
