A dramatic collage as a reaction to the position of women

The play "EXPOSED", directed by Sandra Vujović, will be performed on Friday on the big stage of the Cultural and Information Center "Budo Tomović" at 20 p.m.

"It is a dramatic collage, an omnibus that analyzes in detail the genesis of violence against women. Created from the writings of five women who gathered around this topic, it presents a polyphonic analysis of the causes and consequences of the unequal relationship that women face even today, in the third decade of the 21st century," the description states.

In addition to directing, Vujović signed the text together with four other writers from Montenegro and the region, namely: Teodora Kipa, Ana Leković, Marijana Aracki i Katarina Nikolić. The cast consists of: Anđelija Rondović, Smiljana Martinović, Anđela Radović, and an academic painter Marija Radusinović.

The production team consists of Dubravka Maticic, Kristina Gacevic i Vladimir Cvijetić, and the play was created as a joint project of the Independent Theater Scene "Bunt" (Rebellion Scene) and the Tivat Culture Center.

This theater project represents the reaction of a group of women, artists, to the environment, position and circumstances in society....

"Throughout their lives, women are exposed to the most diverse forms of discrimination and violence that manifest themselves from physical abuse, through sexism, objectification, misogyny, internet bullying and the fact that women often earn less than their male colleagues even though they perform the same jobs," says Vujović. and adds that their goal is to point out all those moments of female exposure to different, hidden forms of violence.

"It is violence that at first glance does not seem like that to us, so very often we are not even aware that we are victims. These are the acts of violence that we have lived with and that have become an integral part of our lives, the lives of our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. That is the traditional violence that was passed down from generation to generation, and which we often, in ignorance, call tradition. In this play, we paint the many anomalies of society caused by patriarchy. We literally illustrate the conditions and scars it causes. Using satire, we criticize what had to be changed and eradicated in society a long time ago - sexism, misogyny and discrimination. During each performance of this play, two artistic processes will take place in front of the audience's eyes - a dramatic work, a work being performed, and a work of art in the making," she said.

In the press release, they announce that the play will soon be performed in other Montenegrin cities.
