The play "I think we should talk", according to the text Dragan Tripković and direction Danilo Marunović, was performed as part of the Regional Union of Theaters - the RUTA festival in Sarajevo.
"If a person questions just a fraction of his own and other people's feelings and longs to test his hidden imagination, then this play is imposed as theater therapy for the soul. I heard these words from a connoisseur of theater in Ljubljana, after the performance of this play, which the City Theater incorporated into this year's program of the RUTA festival. And precisely, by focusing attention on diagnosing and theatrical 'reading of findings' of contemporary social and personal reality, both in this year's and in previous program cycles, the Podgorica City Theater additionally established itself in the regional scene and justified its initiative on the cultural need of the RUTA project", she said. is Ivona Čović Jaćimović, acting director of the City Theater and pointed out that it is a pleasure to participate in a project that is perceived as one of the most significant theatrical acts in the region. She reminded that traveling along the RUTA paths, the ensemble of the City Theater left behind thousands of kilometers, from Ljubljana, through Zagreb, Skopje, Belgrade and here to Sarajevo.
"What we heard in the reactions and saw in the eyes of the spectators of our performances is gratitude to the City Theatre, which points to those phenomena that have crystallized in young democratic societies, such as ours. People in the region, theater critics and theater audiences alike, simply love 'urban stories' and expect from their city theaters an artistic, therefore universal vision of the social and spiritual problems of their own environment, for the sake of their own encouragement and resistance to getting used to cultural obstinacy," she added. .
After a great reception in Ljubljana, the audience in Sarajevo also greeted the play with a standing ovation, and according to author Dragana Tripković, the play "I think we should talk" confirmed its status as a hit play.
"This is proven by the enthusiastic reactions of the audience. The Sarajevo edition of RUTA testifies to the importance of this festival for regional theater and emphasizes that it is important to think about this kind of exchange for the future of culture and theater. It is especially significant for local theaters, showing how the community appreciates and supports the arts," emphasizes Tripković.
One of the main actors of the play, an actor Miso Obradovic does not hide that the scene of Chamber Theater 55 is very inspiring and challenging to play, and that the team of the play responded to that challenge with great dedication, but also with a kind of positive insolence or courage.
In addition to Čović Jaćimović and Obradović, the play stars: Vanja Jovićević, Miloš Pejović, Jelena Nenezić i Pavle Popović.
The next edition of the festival is in August in Brioni, hosted by the Ulysses theater from Zagreb.
