The premiere of the theater play "Danilovgrad Women" directed by Petar Pejaković will be held tomorrow, February 9th, at the Danilovgrad Cultural Center at 20 p.m., and admission is free.

The play stars the following women from Danilovgrad: Beba Popović, Ina Vukadinović, Laura Bijelić, Sandra Marković, Suzana Đurović and Tijana Lukić. The play was directed and dramaturgically written by Petar Pejaković. The visual design is by Azra and Vuk, the music is by Nikola Kovačević, and the technical support is by: Milovan Otašević, Luka Backović and Sreten Milošević.

"Danilovgradjanke" belong to what is most often called and classified as community theater, the announcement emphasizes, adding that the means of community theater are created neither by professionals nor by amateurs...

"The play is created as a collective act of a specific social community that needs to express itself through theater as a medium and say what it wants about itself or anything that is important to it. In the case of 'Danilovgradjanki', that special social group is the citizens of a city, or rather, the citizens - Danilovgradjanki. The play is woven from true, personal stories that Beba, Ina, Suzana, Sandra, Tijana and Laura share bravely, directly and emotionally with the audience. It is a kind of theatrical document of intimacy through which one immerses oneself in the lives of women in Montenegro today," the announcement for the premiere reads.

The organizers add that the "Danilovgrad Women" wrote the play with their lives, and that the women of Danilovgrad are the ones on stage.

"The play speaks about their private lives, and points us to universal human values ​​that seem to have remained in another time. Honest and touching stories that, as a kind of confession, are presented directly from the theater stage by a woman from Danilovgrad, talk about childhood, family, love, hopes, losses, desires, enthusiasms... And, just as old Montenegrin women carried an excessive burden and burden on their backs, so too are these stories pregnant and tell us how burdens should be shared, feelings expressed, how others should be heard and helped," the announcement states.

The Cultural Center reminds that this is the fourth theater play in their production in the last three years, which, they believe, is clear confirmation that Danilovgrad is becoming an important theater center in Montenegro.

"Time will pass and we will be gone forever. They will forget us, they will forget our faces, voices and how many of us there were. But our suffering will turn into joy for those who will live after us; happiness and peace will come to the earth, and people will mention with good words and bless those who live now," they said in a statement announcing "Danilovgradjanke".
