Sažetak
This paper focused on a BADco. production of Camus’ L’Étranger from 2015. In The Stranger 2015, BADco. probes the demand even injunction for transparency: the one who, as the Other, is expected to endlessly explain herself, state who she is and what her intentions are, elaborate on her affects, legitimize herself emotionally, in order to reveal what is hidden, what is unknown, what makes her the Other, so that she would become less of the Other. This injunction is intrinsically linked to the issue of migration and the pressure towards trans-parency in search for protection. Yet the attempts at extreme transparency produce further mythol-ogization and opaqueness, further lack of clarification, further need for questioning, explaining and revealing. My paper will look into various dramaturgical and choreographic strategies that BADco. has employed in The Outsider in order to play with the logic of what can be forcefully seen and what refuses visibility, which is deeply connected with the very logic of theatre machine, with processes of watching, perceiving, observing, understanding and a futility of attempts at absolute revelation.
