Performance ‘Democracy’ | Kaleidoscope of Culture 2024
The play ‘Democracy’ will be featured during the Performing Arts Week of the Kaleidoscope of Culture at the District in SCCNS Fabrika on 20 September at 7 p.m. Directed by Veljko Mićunović, ‘Democracy’ is a production of the Belgrade Drama Theatre in collaboration with the Novi Sad Theatre (Ujvideki Szinhaz).
The idea ofthe play is to explore the concept of democracy and what it means today—whether locally, globally, or universally. The performance questions how much of democracy’s original meaning remains, how the term is misused today, and whether democracy truly delivers on its fundamental principles. Has society ever truly experienced democracy, or has it always been confined to political maneuvering? The adaptation will be radical, incorporating various texts by Brodsky, including his essays and poetry, while also drawing from other perspectives on democratic governance—from the origins of democracy, through utopian ideas, to today’s questioning of what democracy really means in modern society.
