"The story of this dark comedy is similar to almost all of my plays and films. The content is hidden in the title itself, 'The Widow of a Living Man'. Is that possible? Yes, if we bury someone while they are alive because they caused you great pain. And in order to watch such a heavy drama, elements of comedy are needed, like drinking bitter medicine coated in a sweet taste," Kovačević wrote about his new play.
"The Widow of a Living Man", a new play by Dušan Kovačević, is completely Kovačević-esque in terms of thematic, stylistic and genre, in the sense of a tragicomic, bitter-hysterical reflection of a world that is frantically rushing towards self-destruction. Written in his recognizable handwriting, on the thin, porous border between hilarious tragedy and claustrophobic comedy, excruciating pain and unbridled laughter, the play is also carried by recognizable, juicy and colorful characters, with a lively and often simple language, full of folk pearls. The plot is driven by situations from everyday life, grotesquely exaggerated, which reflects the absurdities in a world gone mad, while causing at least temporary (comic) relief from our dreary everyday life. The focus is on family relationships, whose weirdness is a metaphor for social weirdness; the microworld in the theater is (always) a reflection of the macroworld.
