"Contra Mundum" is a guest in Dubrovnik

The play "Contra Mundum" produced by the Tivat Cultural Center will be performed tonight in Croatia, at the Marin Držić Theater in Dubrovnik at 20 p.m.

The play is inspired by the autobiography "The Secret Life of Salvador Dali", and the direction and concept are by Veljko Micunovic, dramaturgy Slobodan Obradovic, music Nevena Glusica, scenography Sven i Ivan Jonka, and costume design Marija Marković Milojev.

"His eccentric appearance and shocking public attitudes have caused divided opinions, but they have also made him famous... Salvador Dali. Genius or charlatan? A prophetic image of the modern world or a mere diversion from every rule, order, ideology...? "Contra Mundum" is not a play based on the biography of a great artist, but a game with the riddle of the art of life in this world. It is a volcano of ideas that is translated into theater very well, very potently, scenically, dramatically, picturesquely, metaphorically. And that is precisely why he - Dali, precisely because today we live in a world without originality, without individuals, in a world where mediocrity reigns, in a world of some recycling, in a world where we are forced to live a culture of neutrality and where we are actually forced to adapt, to constantly enter a pen with an environment in which we discreetly tell ourselves: Shut up, it could be worse. In this play we try to recognize in ourselves everything that we have lost," the director stated in his review.

They will play on stage Ozren Grabaric with musicians Aljoša Zakić (trumpet), Djordje Kujundzic (saxophone), Kosta Vukašinović (trombone), Anja Riđešić (piano), Marko Ćurčić (double bass), Nemanja Tasić (drum).

In its four festival appearances so far, the play has won 13 awards.
