The 26th Theater Festival “Petar Kočić” will conclude tonight in Banja Luka with an awards and honors ceremony, followed by a performance in honor of the awardees.
On the final competitive night, the National Theatre ensemble from Belgrade presented the play “Fathers and Forefathers” to the local audience.
The story follows the fate of the Serbian bourgeois family Medaković, from the end of the 19th century to the end of World War II, from Milutin, through his son Stevan, who was educated in Bristol and married an Englishwoman, to their son Mihajlo Medaković.
What legacy, spiritual, intellectual, ideological, do fathers leave to their children, and who are we really? These are the questions that Selenić poses in his novel, and today, on stage, in a world that strives to depersonalize people, these themes are being re-examined by a new generation.
In the competitive part of the festival, five theater troupes from Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina performed for the local audience.
The expert jury’s decision and the performance in honor of the awardees will bring down the curtain on this year’s Theater Festival, which has been running since June 3rd.
