Theater at the Crossroads Festival – Program for September 6

Tonight’s Main program performance at the National Theater in Niš, within the Theater at the Crossroads Festival in progress, is THE CROATIAN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, authorial project by Bob Jelčić, performed by Kerempuh Satirical Theater from Zagreb. This is the first competitive program performance.

 

Dramaturge is Dina Vukelić, set designers and in charge of costumes are Zdravka Ivandija Kirigin and Ana Paulić. Consultants in the implementation of the idea are Marko Makovičić and Jerko Marčić.

 

Actors performing tonight are Nataša Dangubić, Ana Maras Harmander, Maja Posavec, Marko Makovičić, Jerko Marčić, Nikša Butijer, Karlo Mlinar, Ozren Opačić i Ines Bojanić (voice).

 

“The play follows the life of a girl (embodied by Nataša Dangubić) whose growing up is a symbolic copy of the maturation of the Croatian state. The inextricable merging of the personal and political element in the pursuit of happiness is called into question in the complex relations within the family and beyond with the historical transformations that Croatia has undergone over the past a bit over a hundred years.

 

To the crucial question – Is this where Croatia finds itself today happiness at all? – the play responds with a challenge, a song by a Serbian poet Dušan Radović “The Conquest of Happiness” and a message: We are left alone, with Hope. (author: E. K. / Hina, source: tportal.hr).
