Coproduction of the National Theater in Nis and Hartefact Fund

 

About the play – Tisa Milic

The play ” October 6 (a story about one summer vacation)” talks about the twentieth anniversary of the events that marked the political scene in Serbia in October 2000. The main characters are members of a family of four who head out on a long-awaited summer vacation to Greece by car. Along the way, they encounter a series of obstacles and entanglements, while mutual disagreements, differences and latencies come to light.

The basic conflict is the conflict of different ideologies and the struggle for the word and supremacy in the family hierarchy. Torn between desires and possibilities, the heroes re-examine their relationships, beliefs and past, while resources slowly disappear, and their goal becomes a pale point in the distance that seems to move further and further as they try to get closer to it.

 

Tisa Milić was born in 1992 in Belgrade. She completed her undergraduate and master studies at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, Department of Dramaturgy. She has worked on screenplays for short films, written for radio, cultural magazines, worked as a playwright in theater plays and as a copywriter.

 

A word from the Director – Andrej Nosov

This is a story about a summer vacation. About hope that it might get better. This is a story about a birthday. About family. About a car that was supposed to solve our future.

Twenty years later, we are just angry, hope went astray somewhere. So lost, we wander between different signs and phenomena. There are no mirrors, and rebellion is just a form of avoiding responsibility. When no one is to blame, nothing happens either.

Until the next celebration.

 

Andrej Nosov completed his master’s degree in Theater Directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. He is currently in the program of the Das Theater in Amsterdam. He has directed in several theaters in the region and Serbia, as well as in numerous regional co-productions. He is the director of the Hartefakt Fund.
