The play Cvrčak i Mrav, co-produced by the Youth Theater, NGO Maska, JU Cultural Center Nikola Đurković Kotor, JUK "Herceg Fest", Budva City Theater and JU City Theater Podgorica will have its premiere performance tonight at KC Nikola Đurković in Kotor at 19 p.m.
"Budo Tomović" will be premiered for the audience of the Podgorica City Theater on May 16 at KIC, and a day later, on May 12, in Herceg Novi. During July, the play will have its premiere at the City Theater Budva, and then close the Kotor Children's Theater Festival.
The greatest success when it comes to the theater project "Cricket and Ant" is precisely the cooperation of the majority of Montenegrin cultural institutions, which is also proof that with more than modest resources, institutions can get an extremely high-quality theater program by uniting.
"This dramatization of Aesop's fable written by Milena Depolo is for children who nowadays are overwhelmed with obligations and do not get to play, for older children who are on the verge of growing up and start to rebel against their authorities and for all the authorities of this world ( parents, teachers, directors, politicians...) to understand that it is necessary, good and healthy, to rebel against authority... Cvrčak is an artist, and that profession is not very popular, at least in our country. If you happen to decide in life to be Cvrčak , everything will be against you, except you. And it may be hard for you, but art will make it easier for you. It will give you the strength to endure, it will give you the freedom to speak, it will give you the breadth to understand and it will give you the pleasure to enjoy. It is worth being good character and work is important, but play is equally important. One Cricket, Herman Hesse, says that you don't have to do anything in life, you just have to be happy," says the director of the play, Branko Ilić.
The text of the play directed by Ilić is written by Milena Depolo, and the roles in the play are played by Branka Femić Šćekić, Katarina Krek, Goran Slavić and Branko Ilić.
The stage designer is Branko Ilić, the costume design was done by Tijana Todorović and her assistant Marta Garčević, the hairstylist Nada Mijović, while the music is by Who See, and the arrangement of the song "Koji sam ja kralj" by Peđa Nedeljković.
Aleksandra Jevtović designed the posters and programs, technical director Nikola Krstić designed the lighting, and Dejan Radonjić, Bato Raičević and Mira Perišić worked on the scenography.
