KONTEKST SAVREMENOSTI KROZ ANTIČKE TRAGEDIJE
CONTEXT OF MODERNITY THROUGH ANCIENT TRAGEDIES

Summary/Abstract: Each staging of an ancient drama on stage attracts special attention from the public and professional theater circles. Intriguingness is never praised when it comes to the stage revival of the ancient heroes Oedipus, Antigone, Ayantos, Electra, Philoctetes, Iphigenia, Clytemnestra, and others. Each of the mentioned heroes represents a perfect character in the cult model of tragedy. Theaters, and especially their repertory policy in the first two decades of the 21st century, do not reflect the spirit of ancient plays to any significant extent. They are very rarely put on stage. That is why it is a special creative delight when work on these projects begins and the questioning of reality through ancient heroines and heroes. Every theater and every generation should have its ancient heroes as cult values through which turbulent reality is reexamined. In this sense, the context of modernity is extremely necessary. Thus, the youngest generation had its heroes, both the actors and the spectators who were formed and matured with the performances of the Tuzla Cabaret Theater and the Academy of Dramatic Arts from this area of the city. All of them, both protagonists and visitors of such dramatic performances, created their reality following the perfect model of tragedy, the one created in the Greek stage tradition.
