The performance is based on questioning the acting profession, identity and the process of artistic creation, and is structured as a personal and professional reflection through different performance genres, from drama and burlesque to the absurd and comedy. At the heart of the project is the relationship between private life and the artist's public role, along with a series of questions about the multiple identities and responsibilities that contemporary life imposes on an individual. "I, THE ACTRESS!" is a monodrama in which the author and performer explores on stage the limits of her own acting experience and the possibilities of theatre as a space for personal and artistic articulation. The project draws on biographical material but shapes it into a universal theatrical act that communicates with the audience through recognisable themes of professional and life decisions. Daria Lorenci Flatz is a leading actress of the Drama of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, with a long career in theatre, film and television. During 25 years of artistic work she has created a series of notable roles and has received numerous professional and film awards for her theatre and film work.
