EUROKAZ, international festival of contemporary performing arts (1987-2013) With its first edition initiated in the frame of the FISU World University Games, formerly the Universiade, by Gordana Vnuk in 1987, EUROKAZ, international festival of contemporary performing arts, was one of the most important festival manifestations in the last years of the Socialist Yugoslavia and in the first two decades of the newly founded state of the Republic of Croatia. With its highly ambitious regional and international programmes, it managed to attract the artists and the public from the former Yugoslavia and wider international cultural landscapes. Eurokaz grew from the changed landscape of the contemporary performing arts in Europe that in the late 1970s and early 1980s broke from the models of national cultural systems and hosues and formed its different alternatives and network based production circulations which had included the global cultural contexts.
