AT THE NASTASIJEVIĆ'S

In its play, DAH Theater deals with the famous Nastasijević family and explores the spiritual legacy that this family left to our culture. The artistic and political context between the two world wars is the background of the events in this play, which combines several forms of stage expression. The audience passes, on the one hand, through a world that is partly factual, based on biographical data from the life of this interesting family, and on the other hand, it is intertwined with motifs and fantasy from the literary and dramatic work of Momcilo Nastasijević. [2010]

The collision of worlds, real and fictitious, the audience follows through the characters of Momcilo Nastasijević's stories who meet their creator, the music of his brother Svetomir, the composer, is heard and performed, while the Nastasijević sisters reveal their secrets and in their own way participate in the creation of the imaginary-real world that surrounded them in the form of a traditional "evening" or soirée. The play sheds light on the artistic and cultural milieu of the interwar civil Serbia, simultaneously projecting a strong artistic vision. The birth, development and "hibernation" of our bourgeois class and the consequences that arise from that and their influence on the further development of the bourgeois class and civic thought are some of the issues that this play raises.
