It seems that Heiner Müller's thoughts on the relationship between historical dynamics and adequate responses in literary genres have lost their ground. In the late seventies, he said that the verse is the answer in times of intensive historical turmoil and that when stagnation comes, the answer is prose - so we boldly decided to reexamine the reading of a novel on stage and see how individual reading, which, among other things, can be interpreted as an escape from loneliness and solitude, stands in relation to the collective reading of a novel. What kind of theatrical echo will the novels and experiences of these prose characters, which we have chosen in agreement with the directors and who deal with issues of individual and collective freedom in a wide range of interpretations, have? Or put into the words of George Orwell, Jaroslav Hašek, Elena Ferrante and their heroes: these are different stages of life, different storms.

Photographer / Dragana Udovicic CAST: Aleksandar Radojicic, Andrija Kuzmanovic, Marko Gvero „When the play "Don't Bet on the English" premiered at the end of 2007, it became sort of a "dark horse" if we use the bookmakers' jargon: a seemingly weak racehorse that no one knows anything about and no one knows where he came from, but he is here and he’s winning. The credit for the enormous success of this miniature play can be accredited, above all, to Vlada's text. The basic plot is ingenious in its simplicity: three friends make different bets on the same match and the life of all three depends on the result. The magic number three is also found in the fact that we follow three unities on stage: the unity of place, time and action. In real-time, we follow the breakup of a thirty-year friendship over stupidity. It's mostly funny until the moment when nothing is funny anymore. Few plays can evoke emotion in everyone, and this one undoubtedly managed to do so. Now, fifteen years later, some would say a whole life later, almost everything has changed. Football has changed, betting has changed, the theatre has changed, and... Well, we have changed the most. We lost Marko, that is "Piksi", and with him a huge and irreplaceable part of those dear "Englishmen" from 2007. The only thing that has remained is the brilliant simplicity of the story: three friends make different bets on the same match and the life of all three depends on the result. And good stories should always be told over and over again because we all learn from them anew.“ Stasa Koprivica STAGE MANAGER: Zorica Popov ОRGANISER: Dr Biljana Ramic 09

Photographer / Dragana Udovicic CAST: Milos Bikovic, Tamara Krcunovic, Miodrag Radonjic, Jelisaveta Teodosic „How much do we lie to ourselves and those closest to us? Are we doing it out of a desire to protect a loved one or to protect ourselves? Looking at it, it seems rather prosaic, although it offers the possibility for a self-sufficient reflection of a light comedy. My intention is to create a show with carefully selected actors that seduce the audience to watch a (simply) entertaining and provocative comedy about modern life. The scene is realistically rich, a middle-class apartment. The actors physically and emotionally surrender to their fears, neuroses and games till the very end. At times it should seem like a mixture of contemporary boulevard theatre and a sitcom.However, as the text begins to deconstruct itself and skillfully reveals the true intentions of the characters, the process itself changes to something close to deep psychological realism, which is almost too real. The director's process reinforces the different ideas of the drama and exposes the very essence of the theatre game (and the game of life).“ Nikola Ljuca STAGE MANAGER:Olivera Milosavljevic PROMPTER: Marija Stojic ORGANISER: Bojana Misic Drnda 11

CAST: Svetozar Cvetkovic, Ozren Grabaric, Ivan Tomic, Daniel Sic, Ivan Zaric, Sandra Bugarski, Iva Ilincic, Stanislava Nikolic „Lead us not into temptation Faust is a part of the life trajectory, when everything that we built and what we have dedicated our lives to seems wasted and meaningless, ready to be thrown in the water for just one moment of solace. The only way out is temptation. When a man rushes into temptation, it is not to prove his faithfulness and consistency but to find relief in the fall. To take revenge on himself and his failed life and at least feel his real life in pain... To punish his past years, because he wants to return to life, to youth, to passion, unrestraint, embrace. In such moments, the whole universe listens and watches us. Even the Lord, who is silent and waits, but also the devil who can fulfill all longings and return time and youth and beauty, vitality, woman... He only asks you to give him your hand and accept the temptation, and already you have everything. Everything but freedom… The devil gives you the illusion of it and keeps you in his power. When you notice that you are in his power, it doesn't matter anymore, because you are no longer who you were. Faust is that last fight in which neither wisdom nor education helps. The smartest man loses all the arguments he armed himself with throughout his life, without knowledge, wisdom, without calmness. Where is the help? How to fight? "Faust" is the most difficult of all temptations - the temptation of triviality. This is a piece about the urge for life.“ Boris Lijesevic STAGE MANAGER: Dejan Popovic PROMPTER: Zorica Popov ОRGANISER: Ivana Jovovic Photographer / Dragana Udovicic 13

Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” 1984 / Oceania /A perfect totalitarian system ruled by the Big Brother / The power of words is sufficient to control an entire country / Language is the ultimate weapon of destruction / Disobedience isn’t an option / Words such as "honor, integrity, revolution..."are erased…” / Language is in doubt / Thinking is dangerous / Police thinks they know what you think / Big Brother is watching you. „The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of other; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are differentfrom allthe oligarchies ofthe past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were- cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?” George Orwell, 1984 STAGE MANAGER: Zdravko Djekic ORGANISER: Bojana Misic Drnda EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Sanja Bestic 15 Photographer / Dragana Udovicic

Giovanna is an only child in a family of affluent high-school teachers. A girl who enters puberty and changes, and her beautiful face, at least according to her father, becomes ugly, like that of her aunt Victoria. Is Giovanna really changing? Is she turning into her aunt, a woman she barely knows but whom her mother and father clearly despise? Is there a mirror somewhere where she can see who she really is? Giovanna searches for answers in Naples, a city that is rich and poor at the same time, crossing invisible but difficult-to-bridge borders... "The Lying Life of Adults" brilliantly explores the whirlwind of growing up." STAGE MANAGER: Dejan Popovic PROMPTER: Marija Stojic ORGANISER: Dr Biljana Ramic 17 Photographer / Dragana Udovicic

In the first chapter of his novel "The Ministry for the Future", a terrible heat wave kills millions of people. One of the main characters survives the attack, but burdened by post-traumatic stress disorder, he realises that despite the ecological catastrophe and the vast number of victims, the world still does not move. Nothing has changed. Frustrated by the general ignorance, he decides to demand changes and starts implementing them himself, even if it asks for great efforts and the most radical engagement. The future is slipping out of our hands. At what point are we going to reclaim it? Inspired by Robinson's works and the radicalism of the moment - the moment we live in, but above all the one whose arrival we can only sense - in the staging of "The Future" we will explore what definitely awaits us, that is, what could be waiting for us when we decide to look into the future. Even if utopia is unlikely to be realised, we still have to try, we have to harness all our strength to avoid the almost certain dystopia!“ Ziga Divjak STAGE MANAGER: Olivera Milosavljevic PROMPTER: Marija Stojic 19 Photographer / Dragana Udovicic

The writer planned for the work to consist of 6 parts, but he finished only four due to his death from a heart attack in 1923. All four parts were published in one book. The plot of the novel is centered around the Czech veteran Jozef Schweik and his experiences in the army. The story begins with an assassination in Sarajevo that starts the First World War. Schweik is so excited about serving his country in the war that no one can determine whether he is an imbecile or a skilled saboteur of the Austro-Hungarian Army.

22 MAIN STAGE „OLIVERA AND RADE MARKOVIC ”
OLIVERA AND RADE MARKOVIC SYMBOLS OF THE MAIN STAGE There is a notion that theatre stages should not be named, thus simply calling them Main Stage or just Stage. We do not share this view. Our greatest theatre actors deserve that we name our stages and theatres by their names. Olivera Markovic (1925–2011) was the leading actress in the most successful era of the Crveni Krst Theatre, which she joined in 1951 with her colleagues from the first graduating class at the Theatre Department of the Academy of Music, led by Professor Mata Miloševic. Professor Jovan Hristic took the play "The Italian Straw Hat" (1951) as the starting point of what he calls the "golden era of the Belgrade Drama Theatre." In that play, Olivera Markovic played Clara, her first role after joining the ensemble. From there on, a series of unconventional productions and her valuable achievements will follow (almost 30 roles in ten years): Pierrette in "Nights of Wrath," Olwen in "Dangerous Corner," Spring Fairy in "Plakir," Margeticka in "Wolfhound," Masha in "Three Sisters," Katherine and Bianca in "The Taming of the Shrew," Karolina in "Karolina from Rijeka”, Margaret in "The Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Eliza in "Pygmalion," Queen Draga in "The Mansion," Yvette Poitier in "Mother Courage.". Olivera's acting was rich, varied, expressive, plastic, and always accurate, precise and convincing. She was able to find a comical trait even in the most dramatic. She characterized the characters masterfully. She was a brilliant singer. She dominated acting and had fun while doing it! The Main Stage was named "Rade Markovic" on February 20, 2011. Olivera and Rade Markovic are among the biggest stars of the Serbian theatre, which are still shining brightly. They were the best partners. They were also spouses. Both natives of Belgrade, they rest together in the Alley of Distinguished Citizens at Belgrade's New Cemetery, and our theatre puts their names together by naming the stage "Olivera and Rade Markovic."

25 Dante Alighieri DIVINE COMEDY DIRECTOR: Frank Castorf PREMIERE 29.10.2022. Duration: 300 minutes (the play has a break) The shortest contents of the 'Divine Comedy' are as follows: on the day of the jubilee, while Pope Boniface shows everyone his power and while Christians gather around him, Dante wanders through the dark forest. He is rescued by Virgil, who takes him to see hell and purgatory, and after that, he climbs to heaven with Beatrice and reaches the face of God. Allegorically, Dante is the soul, Virgil is the reason, and Beatrice is grace and love. The entire 'Divine Comedy' is divided into three parts: Hell, Paradise, and Purgatory, with thirty-three songs each, bearing in mind that the first part, Hell, also has an opening song, so thirty-four in total. All three parts written in triple rhyme (terza rima) have the word 'star' in the last verse to remind us of the only true goal - striving towards the world of light. Dante's poetic soul found a way to express all feelings, all natural phenomena, and all yearnings of the spirit. He is a poet of drama and his storytelling is lyrical; he is a poet of comic expression and realism and a poet of feelings and inexpressible concepts. (...) In this work, the poet descends into the darkness of human sin and reaches the light and liberation from sin, and on his way through the three realms of the afterlife, he encompasses heaven and earth, time and eternity, divine and human. It is a quest of the human soul for absolute happiness, freedom, peace and final enlightenment From the preface to the “Divine Comedy" by Dragan Mraovic TRANSLATION: Dragan Mraovic STAGE DESIGNER: Aleksandar Denic COSTUME DESIGNER: Adriana Braga Peretzki COMPOSER: William Minke VIDEODESIGNERANDCAMERA:Andreas Deinert CAST: Marko Gvero, Milena Vasic, Aleksandar Radojicic, Milan Zaric, Dunja Stojanovic, Jana Milosavljevic, Aleksandar Jovanovic, Natasa Markovic, Bojana Stojkovic ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Ana Tomovic ASSISTANT STAGE DESIGNER:Danilo Mladjenovic ASSISTANT COSTUME DESIGNER: Milena Cvorovic, Smiljka Babic, Milana Saric TRANSLATORS: Maja Matic, Dusan Nikolic, Bojana Denic LIGHTING DESIGNER: Lothar Baumgarte ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF PRODUCTION: Sebastian Klink SPEECH COACH: Radovan Knezevic EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Sanja Bestic ASSISTANT TRANSLATOR: Nikolina Simeunovic, Jelena Djurovic STAGE MANAGER: Olivera Milosavljevic PROMPTER: Marija Stojic ORGANISER: Minja Stamenkovic

27 Sophocles ANTIGONE DIRECTOR: Diego de Brea PREMIERE 28.05.2022. Duration: 100 minutes “Antigone is a tragic confrontation based upon the conflict between the state and the family, authorities and human beings, the law on one side, and ethics and morals on the other. Antigona is a synonym for what we call freedom and the only thing we wish for but in a covert way. The meaning of life must remain the very essence of human beings, even at the expense of punishment that is impossible to avoid. This map of persistence, tenacity and fanaticism offers the last hope for our long-lost dreams, its nature being in its highest purity where there is no space for opportunism, fear and empty hope for a better tomorrow. The world cannot be changed with only hope and fear but with faith and infinite courage that enables a man's dignified life. Let's be realistic and demand the impossible.” Diego de Brea TRANSLATION: Milos N.

Duration: 180 minutes (the play has a break) “In „Shakespeare in love“ Stoppard acknowledges – although ironically – Shakespeare’s new home on the cinematographic market by translating the Elizabethan into a Hollywood, cinematic world, a wooden studio where the demand for a blockbuster begets conventional writing, „love, and a piece with a dog“.

31 LIVING ROOM AUTHOR, DIRECTOR: Ersan Mondtag PREMIERE 13.09.2021. Duration: 90 minutes A project by our German guest, Ersan Mondtag, one of the most promising young artists of the German and European scene. Born in 1987, this multimedia artist connects several fields: theatre, opera, music, performance and installations. He is the winner of two "Teatre Hojte" awards for young and upcoming artists - as a director in 2016. and as a screen/costume designer a year later. The Living Room at BDT is part of his project of the same name, which started at the Belgian theatre NP Ghent. "My international career started at the 51st Bitef Festival, so I have a special connection with Belgrade, and I am glad to be here again." The Living Room, the second part of the De living trilogy, is a story about what life is. We see an elderly woman getting ready for work in the living room. When the scene turns, we see a young woman in the same situation. It’s practically the same life for forty years.” Ersan Mondtag CO-AUTHOR: Tijana Grumic STAGE AND LIGHTING DESIGNER:Ersan Mondtag COSTUME DESIGNER: Josa Marx SOUND DESIGNER: Jonas Grunder- Culemann CONSECUTIVE TRANSLATION:Dusan Nikolic CAST: Vesna Cipcic, Aleksandra Anja Alac/ Iva Ilincic, Ljubomir Bulajic, Aleksandar Jovanovic АSSISTANT DIRECTOR: Jug Djordjevic and Jonas Grunder-Culemann ARTISTIC ASSISTANT: Simon Lesemann STAGE MANAGER AND PROMPTER: Jovana Matic ОRGANISER:Bojana Misic Drnda Co-production with BITEF Theatre and BITEF Festival

33 Goran Stefanovski WILD MEAT DIRECTOR: Jagos Markovic PREMIERE 24.04.2021. Duration: 100 minutes "Stefanovski set the play on the eve of World War II, and at the center of the story is a family rift through which different views of the world, traditional and moral, cancerous misunderstanding and exclusivity, intruding fascism and the circumstances that shape it, are refracted. The play had its premiere in 1979, in Skopje, and there have been several productions since on the stages across ex-Yugoslav countries, that is, what we now call the region, and various theatre critics and experts called it the drama of the century. There is every chance that the first two decades of the 21st century will see the piece from new perspectives. Neoliberal ideology has arrived in our destroyed, disoriented and bloodied home (if we consider the space in which we live a home). It has arrived to, in cooperation with the ruling nomenclature, the unquestioning dictate of the surplus of welfare - in which name every value system has to be overthrown, and which has to equal happiness, and all the more so because it is further from the common man – make us supporters of everything and anything, and therefore even turn us into monsters if necessary. And if it can do it to us, then it will do it to society as well.

35 Bertolt Brecht BAAL DIRECTOR: Diego De Brea PREMIERE 15.04.2021. Duration: 120 minutes “He came to take a breath. To find the courage for the fire of the spirit and the strength of the heart, between doubt and piety. He came to enjoy himself forever, at least now and here. He is looking for that inaccessible country where he would live better. Because a man's longing for happiness cannot be killed, and it is the only thing that keeps him alive and haunts him all his life. Baal is traveling towards his inevitable self-destruction. His desire to fill the Heavens without God forces him to despise the already desolated world. He is preoccupied with values, faith, love, the fatherland and law. He starts playing with the devil's tail. Baal and his dance cause death.

It seems that Heiner Müller's thoughts on the relationship between historical dynamics and adequate responses in literary genres have lost their ground. In the late seventies, he said that the verse is the answer in times of intensive historical turmoil and that when stagnation comes, the answer is prose - so we boldly decided to reexamine the reading of a novel on stage and see how individual reading, which, among other things, can be interpreted as an escape from loneliness and solitude, stands in relation to the collective reading of a novel. What kind of theatrical echo will the novels and experiences of these prose characters, which we have chosen in agreement with the directors and who deal with issues of individual and collective freedom in a wide range of interpretations, have? Or put into the words of George Orwell, Jaroslav Hašek, Elena Ferrante and their heroes: these are different stages of life, different storms. Artistic Board Bojana Denić Ana Tomović Jug Radivojević
37 Milan Ramsak Markovic CEMENT BELGRADE (based on the play "Cement" by Heiner Müller) DIRECTOR: Sebastijan Horvat PREMIERE 12.04.2021. Duration: 140 minutes After performances at the Zagreb Youth Theatre and the SNG Drama in Ljubljana, director Sebastijan Horvat ends the year of Heiner Müller's "Cement" at the Belgrade Drama Theatre. Müller's "Cement" is a text in turmoil: starting from the very revolutionary time that it deals with, through the struggle between the emancipatory aspirations of its characters and their set-in-stone traditional family relationships from which they evolved, up to the love relationship between the main characters, Dasha and Gleb Chumalov, through which the director reflects the impact of social circumstances on the most intimate level. Our third performance, inspired by the play of the great East German playwright, will be based on the original play by Horvat's collaborator Milan Ramsak Markovic, in which the place and time of the action move to present-day Belgrade. The relationship between trauma and memory, political dementia in which we are slowly getting lost, and the conflict that is inscribed in our body are some of the motives that we will introduce in the last act of conversation with Heiner Müller in Belgrade.

39 Vladimir Tabasevic SILENTLY FLOWS THE MISSISSIPPI DIRECTOR: Ivica Buljan PREMIERE 06.04.2021. Duration: 140 minutes Tabasevic writes poetry, short stories and has so far published three novels: "Silently Flows the Mississippi" (2015, shortlisted for NIN Award), for which he received the regional Award "Mirko Kovac", then "Well, like" (2016, shortlisted for the NIN award) and "The Fallacy of St. Sebastian" (2018), for which he was awarded the NIN award for the novel of the year. "Mississippi" wraps up the story of a state, a century and an idea, offering us a devastatingly intimate account of their end. The prose intertwines history and intimacy, personal and ideological, depicting the end of a century and the disintegration of a society. The director of this play, Ivica Buljan, comes from Croatia and is one of the most influential artists in the region. His plays have been performed at international festivals in more than thirty countries, and he is the winner of some of the most important awards in the region (from the Sterija and Gavela Awards to the recognition at Borstnik's encounters).

41 Fedor Shili THE READER (based on the novel by Bernhard Schlink) DIRECTOR: Boris Lijesevic PREMIERE 24.10.2020. Duration: 110 minutes The novel written by the German writer and jurist in 1995 is an analysis of the post-war generation's conflict with the Holocaust and concentration camps, and raises moral questions about the propriety of taking Nazis to trial in post-war Germany. The book has been translated into thirty-nine languages, and based on it, an American film of the same name was filmed and directed by Stephen Daldry in 2008, starring Kate Winslet. She was awarded the Oscar for Best Actress in 2009 for the role. The book has sold over a million paperback copies in the US and is a required read in high schools in some German states. This is a return to Lijesevic's themes: the relationship between responsibility and guilt in collective and individual consciousness, the recognition of essential evil in time, ideology, society and man. "The action takes place ten, fifteen and twenty-five years after the Second World War, when the consequences are still alive, and the criminals are still there, transformed into peaceful citizens. The question is what attitude to take towards someone who has committed a war crime. Should we look at them exclusively through the prism of sin or seek something else in that person next to us?"

43 WHO IS AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF (based on the play „Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf“ by Edward Albee) DIRECTOR: Lenka Udovicki PREMIERE 09.10.2019. Duration: 150 minutes (the play has a break) The international co-production with the "Ulysses" Theatre from Zagreb had its premiere at the "Ulysses" Festival at the Minor Fortress on the island of Mali Brijun on July 29, 2019. The plot of the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is simple: during a casual sit-down, a middle-aged married couple, university history Professor George and the Dean's daughter Martha, fueled by alcohol, begin a mentally and emotionally draining verbal game of mutual accusation and abuse, drawing their guests into it. This is a grand return of Rade Serbedzija to the stage of the Belgrade Drama Theatre.

45 Dragoslav Mihailovic WHEN PUMPKINS BLOSSOMED DIRECTOR: Boban Skerlic PREMIERE 24.5.2014. Duration: 140 minutes As much as a testimony of historical, social and political turmoil from the recent past, the drama "When Pumpkins Bloomed" by Dragoslav Mihailovic is above all a striking, powerful and disturbing intimate story about stretching the limits of humanity and morality. The universal, almost archetypal theme of overcoming the need to defend one's honor and dignity over the imposed, oppressive, but generally accepted social norms and laws (which both depend on the historical moment and order), Mihailovic places in a radically dramaturgically defragmented and at first glance local political framework (communist dictatorship, Informbiro Resolution, Goli otok), thus giving the "Pumpkins" a timeless note.
