AT NASTASIJEVIĆ’S
In its performance, DAH Teatar 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 performance , which combines several forms of stage expression. On the one hand, the audience goes through a world that is partly factual, based on biographical data from the life of this interesting family, and on the other hand, it intertwines with motifs and fantasy from the literary and dramatic work of Momčilo Nastasijević. [2010]
The audience follows the clash of the real and the fictional worlds through the characters of Momčilo Nastasijević’s short stories who meet their creator, listens to and performs the music of his brother Svetomir, a composer, while the Nastasijević sisters reveal their secrets and participate in their own way in creating the imaginary-real world that surrounded them at the time in the form of a traditional “evening” or soirée. The play illuminates the artistic and cultural milieu of interwar bourgeois Serbia, while projecting a powerful artistic vision. The birth, development, and “hibernation” of our bourgeois class and the consequences that arise from it and their impact on the further development of the bourgeois class and bourgeois thought are some of the questions that this play raises.
