The excellent programme of the seventh Kaleidoscope of Culture continues this week in the District, with a focus on performing arts. One of the standout events will be the guest performance of the Belgrade Drama Theatre with the play Democracy, on 20 September at 7 p.m. at the SCCNS Fabrika. This is a unique opportunity for the Novi Sad audience to see a contemporary play that questions the fundamental values of our society. Here are three reasons why you should attend this event on Friday:
1. Plays by the Belgrade Drama Theatre are rarely seen in Novi Sad
The Belgrade Drama Theatre does not frequently perform in Novi Sad, but this will be its first participation in the Kaleidoscope of Culture programme. This opportunity is special because the Novi Sad audience can watch a play that has already achieved great success in Belgrade. Democracy, implemented in co-production with the Novi Sad Theatre (Ujvideki Szinhaz), connects two significant theatres and brings a unique experience to the stage.
2. Re-examining democracy in the modern world
The play Democracy, written by Russian author Joseph Brodsky and directed by Veljko Mićunović, tackles complex questions: How much of the original meaning of democracy remains today, and does it even bring us what its basic tenets promised? The adaptation is radical, inspired by the essays and poetry of Joseph Brodsky, as well as other philosophers and writers who question democracy. Through this play, you will be prompted to reflect on what democracy truly means in the modern world and to what extent its principles are being abused.
3. Outstanding artistic team
Democracy brings together top-notch actors on stage and a creative team behind the production. The roles are played by Ozren Grabarić, Ivana Nikolić, Arpad Mesaroš, Tamara Aleksić, Gabor Pongo/Miloš Lazarov, with live music performed by Nikola Dragović and Ivan Mirković. The set design is by Marija Kalabić, the costumes by Jelena Stokuća, and the lighting design is by Srđan Jovanović.
Admission to the play is free (REGISTER HERE), so we invite you to enjoy top-quality art as part of the largest regional artistic event. The Kaleidoscope of Culture, as the best European Trend Brand, once again unites global stars, giants of Serbian art, emerging creators, and the independent art scene.
