The canceled play

Z Tanją Miletić Oručević rozmawia Grzegorz Niziołek

The main topic of Grzegorz Niziołek’s conversation with Tanja Miletić Oručević is the play she directed over six months ago, Sveto S ili kako je arhivirana predstava Sveti Sava, in Bosansko narodno pozoriste, alluding to the canceled 1990 performance of Svety Sava (Saint Sava). Niziołek asks about the causes for this and the organizers of the protest in 1990, and about the events that took place in the time in Yugoslavia. Tanja Miletić Oručević explains why she chose to address the topic twenty years later, speaks of the performance’s dramaturgy, and about its reception and the audience’s reactions.
