The show Afterword, coproduced by the National Theater in Niš, Beoart from Belgrade and the Budva National Library, was created as an adaptation of the play Gossip by Nebojša Romčević. Adaptation refers both to compression and reinterpretation of certain scenes and to playing with the post-fiction. Relying on Romčević’s genre playfulness of the story of Bogoboj Rucović, i.e. echoes of his life and work, “because life consists of a series of scenes of different genres”, Afterword tries to combine fable with reality, without hiding that we are in the theater here and now. Just as tradition teaches us – conclusions are drawn from the story and the audience is thanked.
