Monodrama "Confession of Princess Olivera Lazarević", author's project Jovan Todorovic, will be performed tomorrow evening, in the hall of "Zahumlje" in Nikšić, at 20 p.m.

It is a monodrama that Todorović, who is studying for a doctorate in dramatic arts at the Academy in Belgrade, premiered in January 2021 and has performed more than ten times so far.

The life story of the prince's youngest daughter Lazar Hrebeljanović and princesses Militia, Todorović did as research for her doctoral thesis.

Olivera Lazarevic spent 12 years (1390-1402) in her youth in the harem of Ottoman Sultan Bayazit I, as a pledge of peace between the Lazarevic family and the Ottoman Empire. Among the hundreds of women in the harem, Olivera became one of the sultan's four lawful wives - kaduna, and during her stay in the harem she remained in the Orthodox faith.

The organizer of the event is JU "Zahumlje", as part of the June repertoire of the Nikšić cultural scene.
