Fathers and forefathers
dramatized by Kata Gyarmati, novel by Slobodan Selenić
Repertoire
A Word from the Director:
Our fathers and forefathers - our spiritual, intellectual, ideological heritage - what we inevitably live with to this day. Or we are forced to live with. Making it impossible to move away from them, and for the sake of constant digging up and re-digging the past, fathers and forefathers live around us constantly - they remind, persecute, supervise and admonish us.
From the shards of Stevan Medaković's memory, our torn beings, endangered intimacy, family discords and alienation are staring at us. There is also a fundamental misunderstanding of diversity, be it at the basic level regarding nationality or purely ideological.
While, at the same time, our internal exiles, anguishing captivity and the feeling of guilt that we carry as a burden to this day become so obvious.
