Sender Unknown, forum theatre performance
The play “Sender Unknown” consists of three scenes, each addressing a different perspective on the problem: a manipulated photo of a middle school girl’s face placed on a pornographic image spreads through social media and messaging apps. The play takes us to a school playground, where three students who received the photo have different opinions on sharing it; to the school administration, exploring whether this “incident” falls under the school’s responsibility and into a family situation where one parent is horrified by the existence and spread of the photo, while the other dismisses it as innocent childish behavior. The play was created as a part of a legislative theatre process where POKAZ worked with a school to formulate a policy on cyberbullying, and it does not feature the victim of the cyberbullying nor reveal the identity of the person who first shared the photo. The aim is to avoid questioning the victim’s behavior or patronizing them with advice, as well as to prevent individualizing blame and identifying a single culprit, which might lead to the conclusion that we are exempt from responsibility. Instead, the dramaturgy encourages students, parents, and school staff to reflect on their roles in combating and preventing cyberbullying, as well as the specific needs they have to do so effectively.

Pošiljatelj neznan, forumska predstava
Predstava »Neznani pošiljatelj« je sestavljena iz treh prizorov, ki vsak osvetli drugo perspektivo problema: obdelana fotografija obraza osnovnošolke, vstavljena v pornografsko podobo, se širi preko družbenih omrežij in sporočil. Dogajanje nas popelje na šolsko igrišče, kjer imajo trije učenci, ki so fotografijo prejeli, različna mnenja o njenem deljenju; v šolsko upravo, kjer se sprašujejo, ali spada tak »incident« pod njihovo odgovornost, ter v družinsko okolje, kjer en starš zgroženo reagira na obstoj in širjenje fotografije, drugi pa ga odpravlja kot nedolžno otroško vedenje.
Predstava je nastala v okviru procesa zakonodajnega gledališča, v katerem je POKAZ sodeloval z eno od šol pri oblikovanju politike o spletnem nasilju. V njej ni prikazana žrtev spletnega nasilja niti razkrita identiteta osebe, ki je fotografijo prva delila. Cilj je izogniti se presojanju ravnanja žrtve ali pokroviteljskemu svetovanju ter preprečiti individualizacijo krivde in iskanje enega samega krivca, kar bi lahko vodilo v občutek, da za problem nismo odgovorne_i. Namesto tega dramaturgija spodbuja učence, starše in šolsko osebje k razmisleku o svojih vlogah pri preprečevanju in obravnavi spletnega nasilja ter o potrebah, ki jih imajo, da bi to lahko učinkovito počeli.
