Dušan Matić and Aleksandar Vučo
"Marija Ručara" is a stage interpretation of the unjustly forgotten work of Serbian surrealist poets Dušan Matić and Aleksandar Vuč. The poem was published in the "Svetlost" Bookstore of Lazar P. Vukićević from Belgrade in 1935 as the first book of the "Poetry and Criticism" edition, but it was banned even before it was put on sale, and unrelated copies were destroyed. "Marija Ručara" still speaks strongly about the position of a woman, a worker, and is a clear cry of a disenfranchised woman, like all of us who are silenced and whose opinion and attitude about the city and the country we live in is not respected, but the loudest call of profit and the cruel exploitation of people, nature, and land is visible at every step. Through this topic, we want to point out the potential perspectives of overcoming and revolutionizing the conditions of everyday life in the time of global neoliberal capitalism, its paradigms, policies, techniques of control, intimidation, working conditions, migration regimes and democracy.
"At the beginning of the struggle in misery, they only see misery, they don't see its turning point."
"Someone grabbed your river
devoured it and swerved it
Squeals and laughter on the shore
had drunk with a sponge of profit"
