Each and every one of his characters, even those that one might easily write off as boring clerks or ruthless policemen, is given a human dimension, becoming relatable as well as comprehensible to us. Herein lies Stojanovi\u0107\u2019s great strength: he portrays Gradina as a vibrant community. In his mind, it is a place where notwithstanding all differences and conflicts, the citizens remain interconnected through mutual care for one another and empathy. What is uncharacteristic in the depiction of this region, is the writer\u2019s poetics which is devoid of cynicism and irony. Contrastingly, the humor stems from the absurdity of life, that does not cloud over the beauty of living.<br \/>\nText adaptation of a famous TV series<br \/>\n<strong>More Than Just a Game<\/strong> posed a distinct dramaturgical challenge, given its profound impact on film as well as the popular culture in the region of the Balkans. The original script had to be carefully adapted, so as to give us the three immensely distinct plays. What is important to mention is that each of these plays could be seen as functioning completely independently, yet together they form a harmonious and meaningful whole. In making the adaptation, the director Ivan Vukovi\u0107 and I endeavored to preserve Stojanovi\u0107\u2019s unique poetics. Wherever the material called for rewriting , we drew inspiration from the remainder of the author\u2019s original opus- for instance in further exploring the depths of the female characters and shaping the play\u2019s third act, which is based upon Stojanovi\u0107\u2019s unfinished script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":77749,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":[],"tags":[],"event_type":[186],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-78048","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_location-between-the-churches","event_type-teatar","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/78048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ajde_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78048"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=78048"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradteatar.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=78048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
