The theater play "Sun Line" produced by the Tivat Cultural Center will have its premiere tomorrow, at 20 p.m. in the large hall of the Tivat Center.
Based on a text by a contemporary Russian-Polish playwright, director and actor Ivana Viripaeva, this play was directed by Dušanka Belada. They play in the play Marija Đurić i Pavle Bogojević.
"Sunny Line" is, as heard at today's press conference before the premiere of this play, "a story about love that stumbles upon silence, about words spoken too late or too soon, about everything we sweep under the rug until it becomes a living mud of emotions."
The characters in the play, the spouses Barbara and Veljko, after seven years of living together, decide to discuss in one night everything they have been silent about for years.
"This is not just a story about marriage - this is a mirror of our weaknesses, selfishness, fears and passions. Here, comedy and tragedy are inseparable, just as love and pain often are," state the creators of the play.
Director of the Tivat Cultural Center (CZK) Goran Božović He said that this is the 41st independent or co-production of this theater company, or the first premiere of this year in the theater production of the CCC. He pointed out that "Sun Line" is an intimate play that can be watched by only 100 spectators at a time and where the audience is on stage with the actors themselves.
"This play raises many questions: are these two people together by the force of unfathomable coincidences, or do they not even know how it happened and are trying to answer the question of why they are together. This metaphor uses the sun line that divides a person into two parts - the part that is adored and the other that is hard to bear. Eternal questions and situations in marital relationships and whether they are capable of crossing that sun line that practically represents a wall between them, whether they are ready to step out of their own egocentric positions, step towards each other and find a positive solution. It elaborates on how spouses, after so many years of living together, came to a situation where they do not understand each other at all, accuse each other and drain each other," said Božović.
Director Dušanka Belada emphasized that the creative process and staging of this play at the Tivat Cultural Center and working with young but excellent actors Marija Đurić and Pavle Bogojević was one of the most beautiful professional experiences she has ever had.
"Love is a universal theme and the main driving force, however, here we are dealing with the question of what can destroy such love. These are not walls, nor borders, nor heavy things. Just one 'sunbeam', simply one accumulated silence, is enough to cause a beautiful world to split into two. With this play, we want to show that this should not happen, that people should nurture themselves and nurture what is best in us and our partners," Belada pointed out.
"Every good play has this inter-genre network that weaves from comedy to tragedy, and so does this story. The audience's impression will certainly be that we 'drove them well' during this play from laughter to tears, and that constancy is actually life. In life and otherwise, we go through different situations and challenges, but somehow our basic duty is to fight to reach a positive result. In order to fight for that, we are obliged, first of all, to be honest with ourselves and as such we then enter into various relationships, whether partnership, love, business, family... So this is not just a play about marriage and marriage partners, but a play about man himself and relationships between people," emphasized Marija Đurić, while her partner on stage Pavle Bogojević said that the play "Sun Line" "could be called Absolute Misunderstanding Above All".
"The problem is always primarily this lack of communication, and the fact that couples often forget to pay attention to each other. There is a lack of mutual closeness and care, and that is enough of a trigger for a serious conflict. I think that based on these premises we have created a good play that the audience will love and that will be played for a long time," he pointed out, adding that the complex conflict between the love of two people and the simultaneous misunderstanding between them was very inspiring for the acting interpretation.
