This play is a compilation of Vesna's autobiographical texts. The core of this staged meditation gives chilling insight into all existential aspects of a woman's life challenged by the patriarchal men of the Balkans. Vesna was born and raised on one of 1,100 Croatian islands, a true Mediterranean soul. Just as the sea connects the whole world, so her poetry reaches the shores of every human soul. www.predstava.eu |

 In this critically acclaimed 'touch of genius' World Premiere (Nordlys) an Author makes a thought-provoking, no mercy, self-revealing, insightful and heartbreakingly funny plunge into our contemporary psyche: Do humans really have a deep need for an identity? Or is this need utter nonsense? Due to her ability to convey deeply existential material in a humorous and crystal clear way, her original take on a play-within-a-play, and her iron will to kill politically correct darlings, the playwright has been compared to Sartre. The script was awarded First Priority by Norwegian Centre for New Playwriting. "...a touch of genius..." - Nordlys "Theater that hurts" - Thomsoe www.johnsenogjohnsen.no |
