The Nikšić Theater is nearing the end of work on the play "Violin, Drums and Iron", which will premiere on Monday.
The focus of the story is marriage, but not as a stereotype, but as a space, a collision of family, culture, and vanity – through comical plots and vivid dialogues.
"Theatre seeks conflict, that is its basis, and we certainly have it in this play," said Žana Gardasević Bulatović, who plays the role of a mother - for the first time in her career - in Boje jutra on Television Vijesti.
The linguistic adaptation of the text by Russian author Nikolai Kolyada, localized for the Montenegrin context, was particularly significant to her:
"We revived our old speech, expressions that are rarely heard, and that was a great joy for me," said Gardasević Bulatović.
The play is directed by Goran Damjanac, and Žana emphasizes that working with him was constructive, with full acting freedom and an open space for joint reflection.
He believes that the audience will easily identify with the play – in the family tensions, comical misunderstandings, and what connects us, despite everything.
"Come for the laughs. Because when all else fails – a good comedy is the cure," she said.
