About the performance:
After nine months of depression due to his wife's departure, Mirna Ranković, the daughter of his former journalist colleague Aleksandar Ranković, who mysteriously disappeared, enters Besim's life. From that moment on, for Besim, there is no going back to the banality of everyday life from which he has been running away for so long in his life.
Director on the performance:
The end of the novel is open for interpretation. You can interpret it in a variety of ways, ranging from an apocalypse to a bizarre happy ending.
Author on the performance:
With full confidence I handed the novel over to Selma Spahić and Emina Omerović to adapt it for the stage. I collaborated with them on the stage adaptation of the book My Factory, and they significantly enhanced and improved the text, giving it perspectives that I, for various reasons, had overlooked.
Comments on the performance:
"Also, despite the fact that the boundary between the earthly and the demonic is almost invisible in the novel, in the performance it does not exist at all, since the director fully renounces the fantastic as a separate world in which dead horses fly to the sky; instead, she reverts the horror back into the human form, merging it with the everyday and turning it into the almost ordinary.”
