STERIJINO POZORJE FESTIVAL 2009 - Novi Sad, Serbia
Yugoslav Drama Theatre, Belgrade, Serbia
CANDIDE OR OPTIMISM / KANDID ILI OPTIMIZAM
text by Voltaire
directed by Aleksandar Popovski
Despite a skeptical stance of philosophers that theatre is not a place for a free flow of thought even if that flow is not restrained by the laws of logic, Aleksandar Popovski brilliantly orients himself in the staging of this quite philosophical work. The relatively simple and rather surpassed “philosophical” question about the best of worlds turns in the hands of this director into a play whose flow cannot be changed even by its conclusion. The conclusion is only a conclusion, and the game here, with the support of a brilliant visual props and ensemble, is that game which brightens the senses, releases phantasms, awakens the stage even where it seemingly does not exist.
Voltaire’s Candide, that funny vagabond, a person who would give everything for love – until it is betrayed – would hardly be found without Nikola Djuricko, and YDT is in this play, under the leadership of Aleksandar Popovski, on the right, reversible track of a theatre as a charming enfant terrible of philosophy.
