“The entire region, but Montenegro especially, has a special imperative to dedicate itself to theater that is engaged in breaking down stereotypes. In Montenegro we are working on deconstructing all myths beside those political, because we are afraid for our existence, but I believe that that will one day change”, said Stela Mišković.
Professor Nerzuk Ćurak said that theater could become a factor for a global de-politicization. “We are living in times where language of chauvinism and fascism is being normalized. This is lasting for a few years now, and everything which is happening in some countries in Europe indicates that there is not a light space ahead. The function of arts is that they questions these dangerous policies and ideologies”, said Ćurak while adding that the world is entering a new stage where things that we had though were left on the history’s dump are in fact triumphing.
“I don’t like it when plays are offensive and when they want to direct people’s opinions in such a way. I like more to make performances that will actually initiate discussions about what is the correct view on something or someone. What we do affects us and other people and because of it we have a great responsibility”, stated by Cezary Tomaszewski.
This was the fourth in a line of MESS Forums, where performances were used as motifs for conversations about the most current questions of today.
