The new season in the Royal Theatre \u201cZetski dom\u201d will start on Sunday with the premiere of the play \u201cBeneath the two suns\u201d, based on the novel by Ognjen Spahi\u0107, dramatization by Stela Mi\u0161kovi\u0107 and directed by Boris Lije\u0161evi\u0107.<\/p>\n

The cast includes Sr\u0111an Grahovac, Varja \u0110uki\u0107, as well as members of our acting ensemble Marija Ma\u0161a Labudovi\u0107, Vule Markovi\u0107, Goran Vujovi\u0107, Jelica Vuk\u010devi\u0107 and Jelena Laban.<\/p>\n

The novel \u201cBeneath the two suns\u201d was written by Montenegrin writer Ognjen Spahi\u0107 at the request of the Royal Theatre, and was published in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Artistic Director of “Zetski dom” Lidija Dedovi\u0107 said that the play will touch the soul of the contemporary audience of the 21st century in a special way.<\/p>\n

“We gathered around this precious novel as a treasure that illuminates in a certain way topics that were hidden, and also topics that really concern us” Dedovi\u0107 said, adding that this play analyzes various wounds from the past, but at the same time it is about love, strength, sacrifice and destruction.<\/p>\n

Announcing Sunday’s premiere, director Boris Lije\u0161evi\u0107 said that the novel is about a married couple who have lived on a lighthouse for 27 years, since the events that drastically affected their lives and their destinies.<\/p>\n

“We have people who have been changed by loneliness and isolation, their characters and relationships have changed. They live in silence, they are involved in the past, and have stopped at one moment in life. In the second part of the play, they have uninvited guests, two young people who want to camp near the lighthouse.\u00a0After 27 years, they meet some people again, life wakes up and laughter and screams start to ring out. However, the question is whether, after so many years of silence, abandonment and loneliness, a new life is welcome”, emphasizes the director.<\/p>\n

The Author of the dramatization, Stella Mi\u0161kovi\u0107, says that almost every sentence from Spahi\u0107’s novel is so meaningful that the theme and essence of the play can be wrapped around each one.<\/p>\n

“We are talking about people whose hearts are bleeding, who spent their hearts on a state that no longer exists, on duties and an ideology that is meaningless and ridiculed by today’s younger generations.\u00a0They spent their hearts on grief for an unborn child, on suffering, on hatred, on compromises,” adds Mi\u0161kovi\u0107.<\/p>\n

The actor Sr\u0111an Grahovac expressed his special satisfaction for working again with the director Lije\u0161evi\u0107, as well as the members of the acting ensemble “Zetski dom”.<\/p>\n

“There is one thing in this novel that intrigued me a lot, and that is when Bato Lon\u010dar, captain of the 1st class, and I act him, says: “And we were happy”. We have certainly all experienced this in some examples in our lives, that there is a certain period of time in which everything works, and then, in some strange course, everything turns upside down and starts a detour from which there is no return.\u00a0Why and how – this novel explains that very well”, says Grahovac.<\/p>\n

According to actress Varja \u0110uki\u0107, the play “Beneath the both suns” will mark the current moment in the theatre and society.<\/p>\n

“The play, like the novel, deals with the story of two generations – one to which my colleague Sr\u0111an Grahovac and I belong, and the other generation to which younger colleagues belong, who are faced with different but, in fact, related dramas,” says actress Varja \u0110uki\u0107.<\/p>\n

Actress Marija Ma\u0161a Labudovi\u0107 is also satisfied with the process.<\/p>\n

“The play abounds in monologue forms that require great responsibility, dedication, concentration, attention, in which your only partner is the audience, and those monologue forms were a big challenge for me,\u201d says actress Labudovi\u0107.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the role of Mitar, actor Vule Markov\u0107 emphasizes when a person lives in a lie long enough, he stops perceiving what is true and what is not.<\/p>\n

“Actually, it changes us in such a way that we somehow lose ourselves and every decision we make, we make in relation to what we did or what we didn’t say, and that is exactly what happened with Mitar”, concludes Markovi\u0107.<\/p>\n

Actress Jelica Vuk\u010devi\u0107 also plays several different roles.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful for the director’s assessment that I play five completely different characters, different people, with different stories, it was very challenging.\u00a0Now we are in a phase where we can’t wait for the audience and the reaction to everything we did”, says Vuk\u010devi\u0107.<\/p>\n

Actor Goran Vujovi\u0107 says that it was a big challenge to work on the character he plays, because he is the embodiment of evil.<\/p>\n

“On the other hand, I am happy I was part of this process.\u00a0We had an excellent template, that is a novel by Ognjen Spahi\u0107, the dramatization and adaptation were excellently done, we had a great and calm director.\u00a0I hope that we have a good play and I invite the audience to come”, says Vujovi\u0107.<\/p>\n

Actress Jelena Laban highlighted the exceptional collaboration she had with composer Nina Perovi\u0107 during the process.<\/p>\n

“In this play, I play several different roles, so I appear several times in a different function, and that was very interesting to me, because I had never encountered with changing roles in such a way before,” Laban points out.<\/p>\n

Scenography by Janja Valjarevi\u0107, Costume designer is Lina Lekovi\u0107, Composer is Nina Perovi\u0107, Assistant of the Director is Nina Martinovi\u0107, and the Costume designer\u2019s assistant is Mia \u0110urovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
