Luka works out every day, answers emails on time, showers every day with cold water, eats healthy, separates waste, cleans, cooks, in short, does everything he can to keep things from getting out of control. It all makes him sick, but some things just have to be swallowed. How far are we prepared to go to keep things under control? Where is the freedom, the joy, the happiness? If you also feel that you are just a sheepdog trying to keep your desires, instincts, obligations, worries, problems, etc. in order on a daily basis, then Luka is your man. A clown who forgot to be funny and a performer who can’t be serious.

Bio

Luka Piletič is a Slovenian performer and theatre maker working at the intersection of devised theatre, performance art and clown. In his work he is drawn to a feeling he often has, of not quite managing life and not quite giving up either. He makes shows that are gentle, funny, and often make use of direct contact with the audience. He sees theatre as a great excuse to be together for a while. His debut solo, Under Control (2023), has been presented across Slovenia as well as in Croatia, Switzerland, and Germany, and has even won some awards. In 2025 he made his directorial debut in Athens with The City Will Follow You. He is a graduate of École Philippe Gaulier, holds an MA in social pedagogy and also works as a hospital clown across Slovenia.
