Theatre-goers in Doboj had the opportunity to enjoy a dramatic performance about Jovan Dučić in the play The Poet and the Ambassador.
The play was directed by Belgrade actor Nebojša Kundačina, who also plays the role of Jovan Dučić.
Jovan Dučić spent the twilight of his life in the United States. Portraying Dučić in his later years—as he recalls memories of his youth while yearning to reconnect with his homeland—is both a privilege and a great responsibility.
Predrag “Pepi” Vasić plays the role of Jovan, a boy named after Dučić, who is sent to assist him and be his right hand. The reading of Dučić’s will and a letter from Aleksa Šantić captivated the audience.
The story of Jovan Dučić’s life is told from a unique perspective, with a special focus on his great loves.
Throughout the play, the people of Doboj also enjoyed the timeless verses of Dučić’s poetry.
