Ballettikka Internettikka is an ongoing study of the internet guerrilla
performance. After invading the Bolsh.oi Theatre in Moscow (March 2002),
and La S.cala in Milan (November 2004), Stromajer and Zorman performed a
new internet ballet  -- on October 13th 2005, this time in another
theatre and ballet house -- The National Theatre in Belgrade, Serbia.

Live internet broadcasting started on October 13th 2005 at 9 PM GMT+1 and
lasted 23 minutes.

They have performed the ballet in the office (brain center) of the
National Theatre Ballet Artistic Director, where the hardest artistic
decisions to run the institution are taking place. The artists have
entered building dressed as electricians, employes ("Igormir Neutronovic"
and "Branimir Protonovic") of an nonexisting Serbian electricity-service
company Elektroda d.o.o., coming to fix the previously reported
malfunction on the National Theatre's electrical system (with the help of
an anonymous undercover rat-collaborator inside the theatre -- code name:
Mirloslav).
