The Mysticism of Dead Poets: A Violent Poetic Debate

"Mysticism of dead poets" was the name of the evening recently organized by the NGO "Alternative Theater Active Company" (ATAK), in an unusual location for this occasion, the terrace of Hotel "Bojaturs".

During the evening, at the subsequent debate, Montenegrin poets and playwrights Jelena Nelević, Vladimir Đurišić, Dušan Đurović, Dragana Tripković and Vasko Raičević spoke.

The evening began with the reading of Pushkin's poem "Prorok", and continued in the direction of Poe, Blok and all the way to Zukovsky, whom Đurišić singled out, against the background of his thinking that mysticism is actually in language itself.

Vasko Raičević, playwright and critic, in the opening presentation spoke about the concept of mysticism and its connections with philosophy, religion and finally about the influence on the creativity of numerous writers throughout the entire history of literature.
