BELGRADE PREMIERE!
Predstava ANASTAS – duodrama sa tri izvođača u kojoj jedan lik govori, drugi svira, treći peva.
Glavni junak je ANASTAS JOVANOVIĆ, prvi srpski fotograf i dvoroupravitelj kneza Mihaila. On svom sagovorniku, muzičaru KORNELIJU STANKOVIĆU, iznosi svoju ličnu dramu vezanu za događaje na dvoru Obrenovića. The light-motif of the play, is unraveling the secrets of a song “Why my thoughts are battling”, written by Prince Mihailo and composed by Kornelije Stankovic.
Ova predstava osvetljava Beograd 19. veka, lične odnose među članovima vladarske porodice, kao i međunarodni status tadašnje Srbije, a sve to je sagledano očima osobe iz senke koja se u ovom komadu obračunava sa sobom, preispituje svoju ulogu i odgovornost u minulim događajima.
The character of Anastas Jovanović will be interpeted by the young actor IVAN PANTOVIĆ, the character of Kornerilje Stankovic – musician BRANISLAV ZARIN, and Ljubica Obrenovic and Juliet Obrenovic (singing only) – actress DUŠICA NOVAKOVIĆ.
Screenplay written and directed by Zorica Simovic.
Project is supported by the Secretariat of Culture of Belgrade, in partnership of the Association of Drama Artists of Serbia and GUARNERIUS, Art Centre of Jovan Kolundzija.
The play speaks about less known details, anecdotes and historical facts related to the subject. It brings luxurious colors of that time, exposes many levels of private court life, the atmosphere of Belgrade in that time, as well as a rich Viennese Obrenovic biography …
Centralni motiv je odgonetanje tajne jedne pesme, pesme „Što se bore misli moje“ koju je napisao knez Mihailo, a komponovao Kornelije Stanković. Naknadnim tumačenjima pesma se vezuje za zabranjenu ljubav prema Katarini, Mihailovoj bliskoj rođaki. Međutim, ovde je opovrgnuta ta teza navođenjem činjenica o datumu kada je kompozitor od kneza tražio dozvolu da je komponuje, a to je bilo 13. maja 1861. godine kada je Katarina bila dete, a Mihailo već sedam godina u braku sa Julijom.
Anastas Jovanović was Mihailo’s best friend, the Chief of Prince Mihailo’s cabinet, a man from the shadow who knew so much. Actually, the play presents Mihailo’s personal drama from the perspective of someone who loved him, but could not protect him from suffering and premature death.
Gledaoci će imati priliku i da saznaju u kojim okolnostima su nastali Njegoševi stihovi „Ćud je ženska smiješna rabota“ i koja je ličnost, najverovatnije, bila inspiracija za njih.
This performance is an autonomous artistic act, and also a history lesson.
Anastas Jovanovic already as child was by destiniy connected to family Obrenovic and the play exposes many interesting details about the dynasty, but also will reveal numerous prejudices.
Jedna od predrasuda je i često pitanje koje postavljaju istoričari pozorišta – ko je nagovorio knjaza da sagradi prvu pozorišnu zgradu u Kragujevcu. Nije mu bio potreban nagovor jer je Miloš još kao mladić video Dubrovnik, Zadar, Trst i Veneciju, docnije je dve decenije živeo u Beču, bio je jedan od najbogatijih ljudi tadašnje Evrope… Berat o nasleđivanju kneževske titule kupio je od sultana sa dvesta kilograma zlata….
