68. Sterijino Pozorje Festival Selector’s Report
THE 68th STERIJINO POZORJE FESTIVAL 2023 Selector’s Report
HUMANITY – ASCENDING AND DESCENDING
During the past year, the Selector of the 68th Sterijino Pozorje Festival saw fifty-seven plays based on the plays by playwrights who write in Serbian and other languages that are in use in Serbia, and thirty-two of those are original adaptations of domestic plays, dramatizations of prose and poetic pieces, or author’s projects, which suggests an intensified interest in a domestic drama that can be seen for some years now…

“ Dokle se god budemo samo hvalili, slabosti i pogreške prikrivali, u povesnici učili koliko je ko od predaka naših junačkih glava odrubio, a ne i gde je s puta sišao, donde ćemo hramati i ni za dlaku nećemo biti bolji.“
Jovan Sterija Popović
