The monodrama, presented in a cabaret form, is based on Šavija’s original text, interwoven with fragments of dramatic works by Bertolt Brecht, as well as poetry, satirical notes and songs.

The performance blends laughter with discomfort, song with warning, while opening questions about fear, silence, conformity and responsibility — those moments when what seems “normal” quietly turns into something dangerous.

Music in the play is performed live, but not as a classical accompaniment. Instead, it functions as a stage commentary that interrupts the flow of the narrative and strengthens the critical distance.

The producer of the play is Zoran Galić, with dramaturgy by Radmila Smiljanić. The set design is by Nađa Sinić, while the music is composed by Irena Popović Dragović.

The music will be performed live with a band, with guest pianist Arsen Čarkić. Sound design is handled by Ninoslav Dobrijević – Tiki.

The production is organized by Asocijacija Vizart with the support of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Republika Srpska and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, according to Mondo.

Tickets for the performance are available at the box office of the National Theatre of Republika Srpska.
