Long Nights and Black Flags
In a country where the history is rewritten several times in a lifetime, it is hard to tell what myth is, what information is, what propaganda is, and what is and why it is in the shadow.
In his novel “Long Nights and Black Flags” Dejan Stojiljković plays with our attitude towards the past and mixes history and fantasy by making a new myth, while the play goes one step further.
In the dawn of a moment that somehow refuses to stay in the past, The Battle of Kosovo, a couple of years before, our play takes place. Religions, peoples, ideas, demons, the nightmares of the two worlds – relentlessly crash onto each other. We all know the outcome, but the reasons somehow evade us.
The play “Long Nights and Black Flags” is a fairy tale about us.
