The play uses texts by Darko Suvin, Eduard Galeano, Ernst Bloch, Sanja Krsmanović Tasić, as well as parts of the play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett.
DOČEK is a play that deals with the reflection of revolutionary ideas and enthusiasm that arose in the SFRY during and after the Second World War, through the reinterpretation of songs from NOB and the prism of bitter awareness in which we find ourselves today, in the world of neoliberal capitalism and the new colonialism of the XXI century.
Where has hope gone? Why is there a prevailing sense of apathy in today's world? Is Utopia possible?are some of the questions we want to ask the audience and ourselves.
The performance is performed in the form of a concert organized for the reception.
Welcoming who or what - it's up to us to decide.
"(...) Because I am writing in the age of an overwhelming, leaden and suffocating counter-revolutionary cover. Ideologically, it imposes the devaluation of the entire history of the SFRY not only as a poorly done job, but also as a wrongly conceived or even dangerous undertaking from the very beginning. And yet, when I think about the project of liberating Yugoslavia, I remember the Italian proverb "when the tree falls, there is no more shade": we are exposed to the full force of capitalist devastation."
