STERIJINO POZORJE FESTIVAL 2011 - Novi Sad, Serbia - Slovenian Youth Theatre, Ljubljana - DAMNED BE THE TRAITOR OF HIS HOMELAND! / PREKLET NAJ BO IZDAJALEC SVOJE DOMOVINE! directed by Oliver Frljić
In the second part of his trilogy about the breakup, Frljić explores nationalism and xenophobia of the Yugoslav region, starting, of course, from the Slovenian territory in which the play was made. – Do you want traditional theatre, a story, something you could identify with? – accompanied by cursing of the audience, this is a question to which we know the answer. Nine actors re/present the verbal and physical aggression of small territories – according to the author’s feelings, latently fascist – and with auto-references and repetitiveness of theatrical death, the director does not deal exclusively with questions of recent political history, but also with the purpose and role of the director in contemporary theatre.
