The Public Institution Museums and Galleries of Budva is organizing a performance of the play "What I Call Forgetfulness" tonight, at 19 pm, at the Modern Gallery "Jovo Ivanović" in Budva. The text was written by a renowned French author Loran Movinje, and the role on stage is played by Philip Greenwald, a prominent director and actor from Belgrade. The performance is not recommended for persons under 16 years of age.

Inspired by a true event: a tragic fate Mihaela Bleza, the play is written in one breath, as a long sentence without a capital letter and a period, similar to the style Bernara Marie Koltesa, whose poetics strongly influenced Mauvin. The author reconstructs and poetically transforms brutal reality in an original way, presenting to the audience a series of details that make this text alive, painful and engaging.

Actor Filip Grinvald brings his voice to the text, which, as he himself says, deeply moved him. His performance transforms the audience into silent interlocutors, and the theatrical act into an act of remembrance, a confrontation with oblivion.

The play was previously performed as part of the Belgrade Dance Festival, and was subtitled thanks to the translation. Tijana Krivokapic, who translated the text from the original French
