"Velika drama" is one of Sinisa Kovačević's most ambitious plays, a text on which this famous playwright worked for 13 years.
It is a shocking saga that deals with the questioning of our past and how the stormy historical events here after the Second World War are refracted through individuals and how they determine their destinies.
The writer focuses on the Montenegrin Vučić family, which actively participates in the colonization of Vojvodina, ideologically and in every other sense.
The main character of the Great Drama, Milorad Vučić, succeeds in imposing the ideological delusions of the new age on the centuries-old patriarchal society, while assuming the tradition of the communist vision of progress, of the future social arrangement that he wholeheartedly believes is just, the final arrangement that will correct all the injustices accumulated over the centuries.
However, Milorad, in his uncompromising and sincere submission to a higher goal, unfortunately forgets about some of the basic values of life and, consciously sacrificing them, experiences a tragedy, and that tragedy affects his family for generations after.
