On Saturday, 22nd July, at Mali Brijuni, Ulysses Theatre premiered the play “Othello” by W. Shakespeare, directed by Ukrainian director Oksana Dmitriieva. The play was produced in cooperation with Sarajevo War Theatre SARTR.<\/p>\n
The 23rd season of Ulysses Theatre is dedicated to Ukrainian artists, and the creative team, besides the director herself, includes other Ukrainian authors such as the set and costume designer Mykhaylo Nikolyev, composer Kateryna Palachova, and choreographer Inna Falkova.<\/p>\n
The significance of the collaboration between Ulysses and Ukrainian artists with Sarajevo War Theatre SARTR lies in the fact that the latter theatre was established and endured during wartime, fighting for justice, peace, and freedom. SARTR, founded during the siege, bears witness to the phenomenon of spiritual resistance against aggression.<\/p>\n
“Othello” is one of Shakespeare’s most terrifying yet tender tragedies. It focuses on envy, jealousy, trust, betrayal, and, most importantly, love. The play will explore the context of a war veteran returning home as a hero, having witnessed the darkest depths of the human soul.<\/p>\n
War reduces communities and individuals to two categories only \u2013 black or white, friend or foe, good or bad. The nuances of gray disappear. On the battlefield, all bodily resources are directed towards survival, and the condition for survival is to live and react based on the most basic instincts, disregarding complex multilayered social rules.<\/p>\n
However, one day, warriors return home and must readjust to social norms. How easy it is to break a hero, how easy it is to manipulate them. What irreversible tragic consequences these manipulations will have, that fateful “peaceful” game… Those who survived the war might not survive the peace.<\/p>\n
The cast includes: Ermin Bravo (Othello), Alban Ukraj (Iago), Ana Marija Br\u0111anovi\u0107 (Desdemona), Davor Sabo (Michael Cassio), Maja Salki\u0107 (Emilia), Jasenko Pa\u0161i\u0107 (Roderigo), Sne\u017eana Bogi\u0107evi\u0107 (Bianca), Adnan Kreso (Montano), Mak \u010cengi\u0107 (Lodovico, First Officer), Alen Konjicija (Second Officer).<\/p>\n
