Literary Programme<\/p>\n
With Barbi Markovic <\/strong>as the guest for the evening, this year\u2019s literary programme is to continue at the \u201cPoet\u2019s Square\u201d<\/strong> on July 29th<\/sup><\/strong>, 9PM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Barbi Markovic was born in 1980 in Belgrade. She studied at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade- Department of Germanic Studies- German language, literature and culture as well as in Vienna. She has worked as a proofreader for some time. Her novel Izla\u017eenje<\/em><\/strong> (Going Out<\/em><\/strong>), published in 2009, certainly captured the audience\u2019s attention. It is based on the Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard\u2019s short story \u201cWalking\u201d (\u201cGehen\u201d) (1971). Its significance lies in the fact that it was instrumental in relating the spirit of the German culture and literature to the audience in Belgrade. The book was translated into Serbian and published under the auspices of the \u201cRende\u201d publishing house in 2006 and later on the translation by Ma\u0161a Dabi\u0107 was published by the \u201cSuhrkamp\u201d publishing house (Germany). She was chosen the City Author of Gratz in 2011\/2012 and in 2016, her novel Superheroines <\/em><\/strong>was published by the \u201cResidenz Verlag\u201d publishing house. This novel has brought the author the Alpha Literature Prize and also the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize. Furthermore, she received the Reinhard Priessnitz Prize in 2019.<\/p>\n Many short stories, theatre pieces and radio plays followed the success of her novels. Her novels The Shitty Time<\/em><\/strong> and Minihorror <\/em><\/strong>were published in 2021 and 2023 respectively also by the \u201cResidenz Ferlag\u201d publishing house. She received the Berlin Art Prize (Literature Section) in 2023. Additionally, in 2024 she received the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in the category of fiction with mini-horror.<\/p>\n In an interview for \u201cBlic\u201d magazine, Barbi Markovic stated that when writing her novel Minihorror<\/em><\/strong> that talks about the everyday horror scenarios of an Austrian couple, she started off by having in mind primarily the horror genre. However, after considering it for a while, it all started to sound so dreary. \u201cTherefore, I decided to let my imagination roam freely and consequently named the characters Minnie and Mickey. This contributed to the comic effect because upon hearing the names of the protagonists, one can think of Disney characters. This ,however, doesn\u2019t have to be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n In the same interview, it is stated that the panel of judges at the Leipzig Book Fair ,where she received a prize in the category of fiction with mini-horror , put a special emphasis on addressing the fact that \u201cthe seemingly simple sentences in the novel manage to bring to life the notion of the correlation between the struggles of everyday life and the existential situation in the world\u201d. \u201cMarkovic was able to put on paper the truth behind the life nowadays in an unbelievably funny but at the same time bitter serious way . At the plot\u2019s background are the war crimes with the climate change being the primary theme, while the banality of our everyday lives comes somewhere in between.\u201d-stated the panel.<\/p>\n The moderator for the evening is Gojko Bo\u017eovi\u0107, a poet, literary critic, essayist and publisher.<\/p>\n Theatre Programme<\/p>\n The same night at 7 PM<\/strong> on Monday, July 29th<\/sup><\/strong>, the second rerun of the play in a form of a guided stride Unreal City<\/em><\/strong> is to take place. It is written and directed by Vuk R\u0161umovi\u0107 and is the production of the \u201cTheatre City\u201d Budva. The venue for the play is the whole of the Old Town Budva.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Unreal City<\/em><\/strong> is a theatrical experience that breaks the traditional boundaries between the performer and audience. The play is realized in a form of a guided stride and that in the authentic atmosphere of the Old Town Budva. The audience is to follow the narration using headphones that will help create the world of imagination, eventually leading to the need for interaction with the environment, including the people present. It goes without saying that the audience is no longer a passive observer but an active participant in a play and is encouraged to explore the surroundings, therefore influencing the development of the story-line. The project is a stepping stone towards the new field of contemporary theatrical expression that blurs\u00a0 the boundaries between reality and fiction. The audience will have a chance to experience Budva in a unique and unforgettable way, not yet seen till now. When it comes to the theme of the play, the participants are motivated to think about their memories in a new and different way, thus moving their lives to a yet unexplored and exciting context for them. The goal is that in each and every member of the audience, the play should activate the memory in different ways. With the use of narration and their own memory and imagination, the participants will be transported to different new worlds. Our intention is to give the audience an unforgettable experience and forever imprint in their memory these impressions of the Old Town Budva\u201d- states R\u0161umovi\u0107 in his directorial explanation.<\/p>\n Along with the writer-director Vuk R\u0161umovi\u0107, the authorial team includes: Ana Tomovi\u0107 (assistant director), Jakov Muni\u017eaba (sound design), Andreja Hamovi\u0107 (the visual designs\u2019 author) and Marija Lije\u0161evi\u0107 as the narrator. Ana Pavlovi\u0107 and Sun\u010dica Babi\u0107 are also a part of the play.<\/p>\n The oral testimonies of: Slobodan Bobo Mitrovi\u0107, Dalibor Antonioli, Jerolim Dragi\u010devi\u0107, Ljerka Dragi\u010devi\u0107, Dragan Stefan and Marija Pjeroti\u0107 were used as a documentary material.<\/p>\n The play Ureal City<\/em><\/strong> will also run on the 30th of July<\/strong> at 7 PM<\/strong>. This time, the venue will also be the Old Town Budva.\u00a0 However, due to the program\u2019s specific nature, the second cycle of the performances will also be made available to the public during August, or to be specific from the 22nd<\/sup><\/strong> to the 25th<\/sup><\/strong> of August<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The \u201cTheatre-City\u201d Press-Office <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Literary Programme With Barbi Markovic as the guest for the evening, this year\u2019s literary programme is to continue at the \u201cPoet\u2019s Square\u201d on July 29th, 9PM.
