Home Theatre Škripzikl is a small travelling theatre company in which actors and musicians different backgrounds found themselves in a collaboration. They are specialised for playing at private homes and flats.

Their performances combine non-verbal theatre with music based on live acoustic, electronic music, or various creaky and crunchy sounds. To this music actors perform pantomime, grotesque and clowns miniatures which are an hommage to vaudeville and silent film from the beginning of the twentieth century on the one side, and to surrealism, science fiction and black humour on the other. All of these elements combine into a kind of cabaret (including clowning, stand up, live statues, grotesque poetry etc.).

 

During the seven years of its existence, the group produced several music videos/short films (which they label as "kids movies for adults"), carried out a considerable number of "grotesque performances", concerts, classic pantomime shows, clown shows, and was also hosted by many audio-visual festivals, radio and tv stations. Through the years, work od „Home theatre Škripzikl“ involves fifteen associates from various fields of art (actors, directors, cameramen, editors, photographers, designers, producers, musicians).

In 2008 and 2009 the group collaborated with several professional theatre houses in Croatia, producing „Škripultura“ programmes in association with &TD Theatre (Teatar &TD) and a play for children entitled "Tetak i stric" in association with Doll Factory (Tvornica lutaka). They have also performed at various festivals in Croatia (Pssst! Silent Film Festival, Špancirfest, Circuscabaret, RAF Amateur Film Festival, FUK Festival of urban culture, Night Lab in &TD, Hanna-Hanna fest., Slama Land Art, BOK fest....).
