Literary programme<\/p>\n
On Sunday, August 4th<\/sup><\/strong>, starting at 9PM<\/strong>, the festival\u2019s literary programme is to be continued, with The Selected Works of Ljubomir \u00d0urkovi\u0107<\/em><\/strong> being presented. The guests of the \u201cPoet\u2019s Square\u201d will be: Ilija \u00d0urovi\u0107<\/strong> (a writer, poet and the edition\u2019s editor) and Brano Mandi\u0107<\/strong> (a writer, journalist and visual art\u2019s creator). He is also the director of \u201c\u017duta kornja\u010da\u201d publishing house. \u201c\u017duta kornja\u010da\u201d has published Ljubomir \u00d0urkovi\u0107\u2019s selected works in two volumes: \u201cSelected Plays\u201d and \u201cPoetry, Prose\u201d.<\/p>\n Ilija \u00d0urovi\u0107 stated in the preface to the edition that \u201cAlthough Ljubomir \u00d0urkovi\u0107\u2019s canon might not seem extensive to some, it comprises in itself the whole picture of an area and the struggles of its inhabitants whilst it is changing in front of their very eyes. (\u2026) No matter if it\u2019s about his naturalistically colored plays, or whether the theme is the eternal struggle for power which is presented in the form of contemporary adaptations of ancient myths or maybe him creating poetic metaphors and the new reality using prose, one thing is for certain. Ljubomir \u00d0urkovi\u0107 manages to accomplish all this\u00a0 by making us see the bigger picture, that could serve as a mirror, at the same time reflecting the past and the possible future. Ljubomir \u00d0urkovi\u0107 offered to the Montenegrin literature authentic stories and new writing tools as well as the playful and everyday language through his texts for the plays. This allowed for the actor\u2019s and actresses on the Montenegrin stages to finally speak like human beings. He provided our literature with a wide variety of intonation and rhythm and tackled the problem of intergenerational nuances of a language that is the most superior in his \u00a0plays of the \u201cFamily Cycle\u201d. Furthermore, in a confined world of the Montenegrin dramatic literature, he brought the contemporary techniques of ancient myth reinterpretation. The readers, for example, become a witness to how it would be if the Sin of Oedipus was just a lie, concocted in order for the one to come to power. The audience sometimes also has a chance to ask themselves ,for example, what would remain of the ancient myths if they were confined to the scopes of \u201creality shows\u201d.<\/p>\n Theatre Programme<\/p>\n On Saturday, August 3rd<\/sup> <\/strong>at 9PM<\/strong>, one will have a chance to witness the premiere of the play Favoritism<\/em><\/strong> , at the amphitheater of the \u201cSveta Trojica\u201d Monastery (Stanjevi\u0107i)<\/strong>. The play is adapted and directed by Milan Ne\u0161kovi\u0107<\/strong>, in accordance with Branislav Nu\u0161i\u0107\u2019s play of the same name. The play is the co-production of the \u201cTheatre City\u201d Budva<\/strong> and the Sombor National Theatre<\/strong>. The play Favoritism<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0is the 82nd<\/sup> production of the \u201cTheatre City\u201d and it is important to highlight that this is the first time Nu\u0161i\u0107 is a part of the festival.<\/p>\n In the director\u2019s preface Milan Ne\u0161kovi\u0107 stated the following: \u201cHumor is one of the most complex forms of communication amongst people. Therefore, it is not that common, nor easy to be funny whilst trying to do that on stage doubles the difficulty. Suffice to say, there are many types of humor, capable of producing different kinds of laughter. Nu\u0161i\u0107\u2019s humor, however, is universal. It digs deeper into the character of a nation that hasn\u2019t changed for almost two centuries-and why would it change when it\u2019s doing so well. Protection is one of Branislav Nu\u0161i\u0107\u2019s earliest works. He wrote it while he was in prison, the authoritative eyes of guards following everything he wrote. Therefore, he was made to tone down his criticism that cost him his freedom in the first place. That is how this heart-warming story, atypical of him, came to be. It is a relatable and tackles the topic of imperfect human character. All the characters are impossible not to like, despite their faults which are, however, not to be overlooked. One of the songs for the play goes-Is this a matter of character or is it a \u00a0mental illness?<\/em> Whatever the answer to this question is, only humor can seemingly save the world-both ours\u00a0 and the one of Nu\u0161i\u0107\u2019s characters. And if we already share the protagonists\u2019 character, let\u2019s share their faith too and wish them good luck. Understandably, the ending signifies finality, and thus can stand beside the word happiness only as an oxymoron. That\u2019s what we want in theatre and that\u2019s what we want from humor. Long live the theatre oxymorons and the human warm-heartedness and humor. As for you, Mr.Nu\u0161i\u0107, I thank you!
