Summary/Abstract: When it comes to the Tuzla theater scene and the ancient tragedy, that is, the tragedy based on ancient motives, there is no enviable historical material, for several reasons. The primary thing is that in the entire theatrical tradition of Tuzla, for which it is known, a very small number of tragedies based on ancient motifs were performed, only ten plays in the period from 1949-2011. years. In addition to the stated “scarcity” in the very setting of tragedies with ancient motifs, there is also a “scarcity” when it comes to historical and critical material. Lack of notes, criticism, all reduced to mere announcements or newspaper reviews of plays. Even if the Tuzla theater scene has a rich theatrical tradition, it is mostly dominated by comedies and dramas. In the work on ancient tragedies on the stage of professional theater, plays with the mentioned theme were analyzed, which were performed on the stage of the Tuzla National Theater. The engagement of dramatic texts created from the pen of Greek tragedies is also manifested in the stagings that were made at the turn of the millennium.
