Run for cover -- FAKI's taking over!
Mighty Fattackina shall sleep no more! Oppressed by concrete, choked by asphalt, with sooty city fairies jumping around her -- the rhythm of the city is forgetting her.
The spring is near: juices are flowing and scents intoxicating. Tribal call is hitting her eardrums, weeds are falling off Fattackina.
Strengthened by the rush of passion, she pushes and tears the death concrete, piles up the noise and rises with a bang! Beings are sent to throw light on paths and open the doors of perception! She's switching on the lights of underground culture.
Let's FAKI public spaces together!
Got a performance, a piece, dance number, recital, a solo, exhibitionist golo, a scandal, torture, culture shock, an activist protest or punk rock? Don't just lie there, you too can be Fattackin/a!!! Download the application and send it in before Fool's April 01! FAKIng 11 will take place on May 20-25. Check out www.attack.hr/faki for updates.

What is FAKI?
FAKI (Festival of Alternative Theatrical Expression) is a non-profit theater festival that supports subversive and marginal theater projects. The festival is organized by the Autonomous Cultural Center ATTACK! (formerly Autonomous Culture Factory). This is the 11th year FAKI is taking place.
What are subversive and marginal theater projects?
Any groups or individuals that practice some form of theater but are impossible to fit existing streams, directions or movements. What connects these is subversion: it can shock, warn or simply comment on the dominant culture using the language of theater.
FAKI is non-profit, what does that mean?
All programs are free. The festival does not make profit. All income is used to cover the expenses according to the yearly financial plan. FAKI is funded through donations and sponsorships. FAKI is open to all sponsors, but its non-profit character does not favor the advertising of very big sponsors. FAKI does not provide fees for performers.
FAKI is looking for an alternative to the theater we know
When different marginal groups get together, ideas and styles are mixed and exchanged. During the festival, groups and individuals transform through mutual inspiration. FAKI is not only a festival, it's a gathering: a gathering for the occupation of public space and its contamination by alternative expression.
