| 5 . SEPTEMBAR Iskreno vaša, Er Srbija Yours sincerely, Air Serbia Dragi putnici, Most of us need up to several months to prepare for September. If you are a parent, then it’s an important month because your children are starting or returning to school. If you work, then it represents the post-holiday period during which the implementation of new projects usually begins. For you, our passengers, we wanted to let you remember September for our extensive promotional o er of airfares. All you have to do is carefully monitor the o ers available on our website. Ahead of us is a major two-week promotional campaign, during which you’ll be able to purchase airfares at very a ordable prices. With this promotional o er, we are extending this summer, which has been very intense and exciting for us, during which we’ve continued to operate ights to our 49 destinations in the region, Europe and around the world, whilst also adding 12more European destinations fromour second airport in Niš. That’s why we emphasise the slogan “Fromour South all around“.We’ve presented our domestic guests with a rich o er of destinations in Europe at very low prices, while we’ve strove to enable foreign tourists and businesspeople to experience the numerous natural beauties and warmhospitality of our country. Our colleagues haven’t not only tries to be good hosts above the clouds, as we marked the luanch of our new ights from Niš Constantine the Great Airport with a mini concert and party on the city’s King Milan Square. It was a lovely day lled with smiles and joy, and we also used this occasion to switch an important custom from the area. Namely, instead of guests giving tips tomusicians, which is customary at every celebration organised in Serbia, this time it was themusicians who chose to treat passers-by at randomwith return tickets for our 12 new destinations. Together with you, we look forward to new challenges, new horizons, new destinations around the globe, taming new clouds and setting new records. To make ying evenmore fun, in front of you is the latest issue of Elevate, which aims to entertain and relax you with interesting stories, announcements of new fashion trends and exciting cultural and sporting events.We are always here for you and try always to be at your service to ensure you enjoy the ight. Enjoy your ight and have a nice trip, Većina nas se za septembar sprema i po nekoliko meseci. Ako ste roditelj, onda je to mesec koji je važan zbog polaska vaše dece u školu. Ako radite, onda je to period tokom kojeg posle godišnjih odmora po pravilu počinje realizacija novih projekata. Želeli smo da septembar pamtite i po velikoj promotivnoj ponudi karata. Ono što je potrebno je da pažljivo pratite ponudu na našem sajtu. Pred nama je velika promotivna akcija, koja će trajati dve nedelje, zahvaljući kojoj ćete moći da kupite karte pod veoma povoljnim uslovima. Promotivnom ponudom produžavamo ovo za nas vrlo intenzivno i uzbudljivo leto. Tokom ovog leta smo u redovnom saobraćaju leteli do 49 destinacija u regionu, Evropi i svetu, ali i do još 12 evropskih destinacija iz naše druge baze u Nišu. Baš zato i ističemo slogan S juga baš svuda. Našim putnicima predstavili smo bogatu ponudu destinacija u Evropi po veoma povoljnim cenama, dok smo stranim turistima i poslovnim ljudima želeli da omogućimo da se upoznaju sa brojnim prirodnim lepotama i srdačnošću i toplinom ljudi iz naše zemlje. Naše kolege nisu se samo trudile da vam budu dobri domaćini iznad oblaka. Otvaranje novih linija sa Aerodroma Konstantin Veliki obeležili smo mini-koncertom i druženjem na Trgu kralja Milana u Nišu. Bio je to baš lep dan, prepun osmeha i radosti, tokom kojeg smo, za tu priliku, izmenili jedan važan običaj koji postoji u našim krajevima. Naime, umesto da gosti časte muziku, što je ritual na svakom slavlju organizovanom u Srbiji, ovog puta su muzičari nasumično birali prolaznike i podelili povratne avio-karte za naših 12 novih destinacija. Zajedno sa vama, radujemo se novim izazovima, novim horizontima, novim povezanim tačkicama na globusu, kroćenju novih oblaka i obaranju novih rekorda. Da bi letenje bilo još zanimljivije, pred vama je i Elevejt , koji ima za cilj da vas zabavi i opusti lepim i zanimljivim pričama, najavama novih modnih trendova i uzbudljivih kulturnih i sportskih događaja. Mi smo uvek tu za vas i trudimo se da vam uvek budemo na raspolaganju kako biste uživali u letu. Uživajte u letu i srećan put. Zajedno sa vama, radujemo se novim izazovima, novim horizontima, novimpovezanim tačkicama na globusu... Dear passengers, Togetherwith you,we look forward tonew challenges, new horizons, new destinations around theglobe... SEPTEMBER

Svetlana Dojčinović je sociolog i fotograf iz Beograda. Vodi se parolom da treba ići tamo kuda te srce vodi.

Za Elevejt piše upravo o Crnom kontinentu i čudima na koja je tamo naišla. Divne fotografije snimila je sama. Svetlana Dojčinović is a sociologist and photographer fromBelgrade.

12 | / WHY DO YOU LIKE PLANES? Because my Dragan (Jovanović, Branka’s husband and fellow actor) has a pilot’s license, and I’ve even done a parachute jump. I love heights and enjoy being in the sky, like a bird. Without planes we wouldn’t be able to reach the other side of the world so quickly. I nd it fun to move against the ow of time. I once set o for Mexico with Dragan in the afternoon and we still arrived before NewYear. WHAT DON’T YOU BOARD A PLANE WITHOUT? I usually carry some book, but I also like to read Elevate Magazine, which has very good articles, and I particularly like the travel articles, because I like to travel! It’s also great for me that all the articles are in English too, so I read both versions in parallel and check my knowledge of the language. WHICH DESTINATION HAS REMAINED FOREVER ETCHED IN YOUR MEMORIES? Mexico was very interesting to me. There is all sorts to see – history, architecture, as well as beautiful beaches. We saw all sorts and for us it was divine; quite simply a di erent world. WHY DO YOU LOVE BELGRADE? I was born in Belgrade and, apart from that, it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has good energy, and its position on two rivers that merge... magical. When I look down from a plane at the Sava and Danube, and all that greenery, I think ‘God, do I really live in this beautiful city?!’ There are many cultural events, excellent nights out, beautiful architecture. This is a city that also carries tradition and has a soul, and I hope that won’t be lost! ZAŠTO VOLITE AVIONE? Zato što moj Dragan ( Jovanović, takođe glumac i Brankin suprug) ima pilotsku dozvolu, a ja čak imam i jedan padobranski skok. Volim visinu i uživam da sam na nebu, kao ptica. Bez aviona ne bismo mogli za tako kratko vreme da dođemo na drugi kraj sveta. Zabavno mi je da idem u susret vremenu. Jednom sam sa Draganom krenula u Meksiko po podne i opet smo stigli pre Nove godine. BEZ ČEGA NE ULAZITE U AVION? Obično nosim neku knjigu, ali volim da čitam i Elevejt , ima baš dobrih članaka, a naročito mi se sviđaju tekstovi o putovanjima jer volim da putujem! Super mi je što su svi tekstovi i na engleskom, tako da uporedo čitam i proveravam znanje jezika. KOJA VAM JE DESTINACIJA OSTALA U NEZABORAVNOJ USPOMENI? Meksiko mi je bio veoma interesantan. Ima svašta da se vidi – istorija, arhitektura, kao i predivne plaže. Mnogo toga smo obišli i bilo nam je božanstveno, prosto jedan drugi svet. ZAŠTO VOLITE BEOGRAD? U Beogradu sam rođena, a osim toga, to je jedan od najlepših gradova na svetu. Ima dobru energiju, poseban je i njegov položaj sa dve reke koje se spajaju, čarolija. Kada gledam iz aviona Savu i Dunav, i sve to zelenilo, pomislim – bože, da li ja stvarno živim u ovom prelepom gradu! Ima mnogo kulturnih dešavanja, odličan provod, divnu arhitekturu. Grad koji nosi i tradiciju i ima dušu, nadam da je neće izgubiti!

TRENUTAK / FLASH London Turisti opsednuti selfijima Stanovnici londonskih ulica koje predstavljaju najpopularnije lokacije za fotografisanje primorani su da se isele iz svojih domova zbog invazije turista opsednutih selfijima. Vlasnici prelepih kuća u Noting Hilu ispred svojih pragova nailaze na više od 3.000 turista dnevno, koji dolaze da se slikaju pored njihovih atraktivnih domova zarad lajkova na društvenim mrežama. Neki od njih su u stanju da naprave čak i mali piknik kako bi uslikali što bolju fotografiju za Instagram ili Snepčet , i to bez ikakve dozvole vlasnika kuće. London Selfie-obsessed tourists Residents of London’s streets that represent themost popular locations for photography are being compelled tomove out of their homes due to an invasion of sel e-obsessed tourists. The owners of beautiful houses in the Notting Hill area encounter more than 3,000 tourists per day in front of their doorsteps, who come to take pictures alongside their attractive homes in an e ort to earn likes on social networks. Some of themeven holdmini picnics, in order to shoot the best possible photo for their Instagram or Snapchat account, without any kind of permission fromhomeowners.

Međutim, to više ne važi – ubuduće će vas to zadovoljstvo skupo koštati. Prema odluci gradskih vlasti, samo ako sednete na jednu stepenicu, mogli biste da platite kaznu od 250 evra, a 400 evra ako ih zaprljate ili oštetite. Cilj je da se stepenice, koje su oduvek bile omiljeno mesto za odmor umornih turista, zaštite, a obnovljene su pre tri godine. Frankfurt Stanica metroa turistička atrakcija Metro svakako nije prva turistička atrakcija koju želite da vidite kad se nađete u novom gradu. Međutim, to ne važi za Frankfurt, u čijem je centru grada stanica Bokenhajmer varte sa najneobičnijim ulazom u podzemnu železnicu. Ulaz izgleda kao da je stari tramvaj udario u betonski trotoar i ostao tu zaglavljen. Interesantni dizajn osmislio je arhitekta Zbignjev Pininski davne 1986. godine, pošto je inspiraciju pronašao u delima nadrealiste Renea Magrita. Rome Sitting on the Spanish Steps banned Youhaven’t been to Rome if youhaven’t observed the city centrewhile sittingon the famous Spanish Steps, which have adorned the“eternal city”since the 18th century. However, thiswill no longer be possible – in future, this satisfaction will cost youdearly. In accordancewith a decisionof the authorities of the City of Rome, just sittingonone step could see youpay a ne of 250 euros, while that sumrises to 400 euros if youdirty or damage any of the steps. The aim is toprotect the famous stairswhichwere renovated three years ago. Frankfurt Underground station as tourist attraction An undergroundmetro certainly isn’t the rst tourist attraction youwant to seewhen you nd yourself in a newcity. However, that doesn’t apply to Frankfurt, because the city centre’s Bockenheimer Wartemetro station has themost unusual entrance to a subterranean railway. The entrancewasmade to appear as though an old tramhasmelted into the concrete pavement and been left stuck there. This interesting designwas conceived by architect ZbigniewPeter Pininski back in 1986, who found inspiration in theworks of surrealist artist RenéMagritte.

Značaj te arhitekture je prepoznatljiv i prikazan je na izložbi umuzejuMoMA 2018. godine. Tijana Kojić is a painter who has shown her works at numerous exhibitions, both in our country and abroad. She is already recognised around the world... “It isparticularlypleasingtomewhenIhaveanopportunity tohear howobservers experiencedrawingas thebasicmarbling ofmywork, and that thisdrawingofmine isprobablya fruit of anarea where it is particularly valued and nurtured as a form of expression.” Inwhich ways is the Serbian art scene changing, andwheredowestand inrelationtoworld events in art? “Our scene is a diverse systemofmanymutually incoherent worlds, grounded in varying starting points.

22 | Niš zvuči baš svetski jer s juga sad možeš baš svuda! Tako su glasili slogani kojima je Er Srbija originalno promovisala 12 novih destinacija do kojih je letela iz Niša. Pod sloganima „Niš zvuči svetski!“ i „S juga baš svuda!“, specijalno brendirani autobus s otvorenim krovom krstario je centralnim gradskim ulicama. Autobus i vesela ekipa mamili su osmehe stotina građana i građanki Niša koji su se u tom trenutku zatekli na ulici, a na ulazu u Gradsku kuću pozdravio ih je i sam gradonačelnik.

Posebno iznenađenje desilo se kada je bend počeo da svira čuvenu pesmu Niška banja. U tom trenutku članica naše kabinske posade počela je da slučajnimprolaznicima deli vaučere za besplatne karte do 12 destinacija do kojih Er Srbija leti iz Niša. Oduševljeni dobitnici pridružili su se prisutnom timu Er Srbije tokom još jedne kraće panoramske vožnje niškim bulevarima.

| 23 Niš sounds reallyglobal, becausenowyou can go absolutely everywhere from the south! And that was inferred in the slogans with which Air Serbia promoted, in an original way, the 12 new destinations covered by ights from Niš. Sporting the slogans “Niš sounds global!” and “From our South all around!”, a specially branded open-top, hop-on bus cruised the city’s central streets. The bus, along with the cheerful crew aboard, provoked smiles on the faces of hundreds of Niš residents who saw the bus on the streets, while the city’smayor personally greeted them at the entrance to the City Hall. A mini-concert by the Cooolares band was then organised on thecity’s central KingMilanSquare. Niš residents andguests in the city for the Nišville Music Festival enjoyedclassic jazznumbers andother popular tunes, withmany dancing. A special surprise came when the band started playing the famous song“NiškaBanja”[NišSpa]. It was right thenthatamemberofour cabin crew began gifting vouchers for free tickets toAir Serbia’s 12 destinations covered from Niš to randompassers-by. The delighted winners joined theAir Serbia team aboard the bus for another short tour through theboulevardsofNiš. WE’VE LANDED AT SIX NEWDESTINATIONS July saw Serbia’s national carrier take o to the rst six of its new destinations, while that number was rounded up to 12 during last month. Air Serbia introduced direct ights from Niš Constantine the Great Airport to Ljubljana, Friedrichshafen, Budapest, Salzburg, Rome and Karlsruhe. All destinations are operated twice a week, while the number of regular ights from Niš to Tivat, Montenegro, was increased in August to three ights per week.
Er Srbija je u 2018. godini, uzmere koje su podrazumevale unapređenje poslovanja, pripremu za širenje mreže, koje je realizovano u junu 2019. godine, kao i optimizaciju procesa, prijavila u petoj godini poslovanja neto dobit od 12,2miliona evra. Posebno dobre rezultate je nacionalna avio-kompanija ostvarila u oblasti prodaje dodatnih usluga, gde je zabeleženo povećanje od gotovo pet puta u odnosu na 2017. godinu, na 6,9 miliona evra. Osim toga, prihod od čarter-saobraćaja povećan je za više od 40 odsto, na 20,7 miliona evra, čime je dodatno unapređen rezultat iz 2017. godine, koja je bila rekordna. Ukupan broj putnika prevezenih u 2018. je 2,48 miliona, dok kapacitet za prevoz putnika iskazan kao proizvodraspoloživogbrojasedišta i ukupno pređenih kilometara (Available Seat Kilometers – ASK) iznosi 4,03 milijarde. Kada je reč o prosečnoj iskorišćenosti kapaciteta za prevoz putnika (SLF), u 2018. bio je 71,2 odsto. Čarter-brend Aviolet obavio je u 2018. rekordnih 958 letova i prevezao 223.000 putnika do popularnih turističkih destinacija u Grčkoj, Turskoj, Španiji, Italiji i Egiptu, što predstavlja povećanje od 28 odsto u odnosu na prethodnu godinu. Novine tokom prošle godine bile su i ponovno uvođenje letova do Hurgade, u Egiptu, povećanje broja letova ka turskoj obali, kao i uvođenje jedne serije letova za Antaliju, koje je Aviolet obavljao iz Banjaluke. Imajući u vidu značaj onlajn prodaje, indikativan je i podatak da je prethodne godine trećina karata Er Srbije kupljena preko interneta, kao i da rast prodaje preko interneta u odnosu na 2017. iznosi tri procenta. Zbog toga je doneta strateška odluka da se nastavi sa ubrzanim razvojemplatformi za kupovinu karata i dodatnih usluga, što je u skladu sa svetskim trendovima u avio-industriji i digitalizacijom koja se sprovodi u našoj zemlji. Dankan Nejsmit, generalni direktor Er Srbije, rekao je: „Prethodna godina bila je važna jer su u njoj postavljeni temelji za širenje mreže destinacija. Na njih se oslanja i dugoročna strategija, koja je već u primeni i zahvaljujući kojoj ćemo još jednom potvrditi našu lidersku poziciju u regionu. Bez obzira na brojne i velike izazove na tržištu avio-industrije, Er Srbija razvija svoj portfolio proizvoda kako bi ostvarila još bolje finansijske i operativne rezultate, ali i omogućila našim putnicima odličan proizvod po pristupačnoj ceni.“ YEARCOMPLETEDWITHPROFITSOF12.2MILLIONEUROS GODINAZAVRŠENAUZPROFIT OD , MILIONAEVRA USPEŠNA .

26 | Tekst/Words: Radmila Nikolić Fotografije/Photography: iStock The uniqueness of the taste of burek from Niš has been con- rmed by many foreign and local tourists. And it was actually in this city in 1498 that the rst round burek,made inacircularbaking tray, was baked – produced by one Mehmed Ogla, a renownedbaker fromIstanbul. It was soon after this that burekquicklymadeahome for itself in the cuisines ofmany Balkan countries that formed parts of the Ottoman Empire. According to Bratislav Vukadinović, President of the Union of Bakers of Niš today, the secret of the famous Nishki burek is that the same recipehasbeen used since 1498, with the only di erence being that fat of vegetable origin has been replaced by animal fat. “Burek is still made today exclusively in circular baking trays, weighing1.2 kgwhen rawandprecisely one kilogram once baked. It requires 200 grams of cheese and the same amount of lard, and it’s very important that the our is good. In this sense it should be elastic, able to be developed into the thinnest possible crust and to have, as we bakers say, energy, or strength, to withstand a wide, broken crust. Burek is something that foreigners coming to Niš notice rst, after the parks and the hospitality of the people, because when they ask what they could try, the response they receive is - burek, rakijabrandy andpljeskavicaburger.Then they say that the burek is the best, the rakija is excellent and the pljeskavisa burgers are fanatic. Burek is somehow ranked rst,”saysVukadinović. Bratislav Vukadinović, predsednik Unije pekara Niš, kaže da je tajna čuvenog niškog bureka u tome što se koristi receptura iz 1498. godine, samo što se danas umesto masnoća biljnog porekla, koristi životinjska mast. – Burek i danas pravimo isključivo u okrugloj tepsiji, sirov teži 1,2 kilograma, a pečen tačno jedan kilogram. Potrebno je 200 grama sira i isto toliko masti, a veoma je važno da brašno bude dobro. Pritom se misli na to da bude elastično, kako bi se razvila što tanja kora, i da ima, kako mi pekari kažemo, energije, odnosno snage da izdrži široku, razbijenu koru. Burek je nešto što stranac koji dođe u Niš primeti odmah posle parkova i gostoljubivosti ljudi, jer na pitanje šta bi mogao da proba, dobije odgovor: burek, rakiju i pljeskavicu. Onda kažu da je najbolji burek, da je rakija odlična, a pljeskavica fantastična. Burek je nekako na prvommestu – kaže Vukadinović.

U SUSRET 53. BITEFU / ONTHE EVEOFTHE53RD BITEF LET’S START LOVE OVER POČNIMO LJUBAV IZ POČETKA Ivan Medenica, umetnički direktor našeg najvećeg međunarodnog pozorišnog festivala, objašnjava šta je imerzivno pozorište i koje će predstave obeležiti ovogodišnje izdanje Ivan Medenica, artistic director of Serbia’s largest international theatre festival, explains what immersive theatre is and which plays will mark this year’s instalment
| 31 Prelazak iz leta u jesen, kao i 53 godine unazad, i ovog septembra obeležava Bitef, festival novih pozorišnih tendencija, koji pod umetničkim rukovodstvom Ivana Medenice predstavlja presek svetskih produkcija. Medenica se ove godine odlučio za vrlo interesantan koncept – program okrenut predstavama koje brišu granicu između publike i izvođača! Nesumnjivo, ta „neugodnost“ koja nas ponekad drži na ivici stolice sa pitanjem – ko će sledeći biti prozvan iz publike – ove godine biće u fokusu Bitefa. No Ivan Medenica je siguran u taj koncept i poziva publiku na novu pozorišnu provokaciju. To brisanje granice, po njegovim rečima, ima i svoje objašnjenje. – Takvo pozorište danas u teatrologiji nazivamo imerzivno, ali je poznato još od šezdesetih godina prošlog veka i američke pozorišne avangarde iz tog doba i trupa kao što je Living theater, čiji su članovi i na Bitefu izvlačili gledaoce na scenu. Ključna je razlika to što je današnje pozorište participacije manje agresivno, demokratičnije je. Kao što kaže naslov predstave Pozvani čuvene briselske trupe savremenog plesa Ultima Vez, kojom zatvaramo Bitef i poentiramo priču, ovde ste samo pozvani da učestvujete, da s izvođačima gradite, scenskim sredstvima, specifičnu zajednicu – kaže Medenica. Nisu sve predstave na 53. Bitefu takve: autentično imerzivnih ima četiri, a za dve domaće se može reći da imaju elemente te vrste teatra. Da bi se u programu koji ima desetak predstava mapirao određeni estetski fenomen, dovoljno je da je takvih predstava četiri-pet, tako da ih, a imajući u vidu i raširenost imerzivnosti u savremenom svetskom teatru, nije bilo teško naći. Taj fenomen u savremenom pozorištu tretiraće se kroz dramske predstave, kao i kroz predstave fizičkog teatra, a u programu festivala biće zastupljeno i plesno pozorište. Očekuje se da posebnu pažnju publike privuku predstave koreografa iz Brazila i Nigerije. – Osmišljavam koncept Bitefa tako da svako njegovo izdanje ima i umetničku i tematsku osovinu: svaka od izabranih predstava mora da se oslanja bar na jednu od njih. Dakle, predstave koje nisu imerzivne pokreću pitanja u vezi sa našom ovogodišnjom temom: raspad zajednice, u rasponu od države, preko porodice, do partnerskih odnosa, i pokušaj njene obnove... Svet je možda i u najvećoj krizi od Drugog svetskog rata, a neke od sindroma ove krize tretiraju predstave 53. Bitefa: terorizam, maloletničko nasilje i uticaj novih tehnologija na tu pojavu, pristanak građana na autoritarne režime, izbegličku tragediju, predrasude prema vezama u kojima su partneri istog pola ili različitih godina i porekla. Tako će program 53. Bitefa, od 17. do 26. septembra, osim pomenute prestave Pozvani , činiti i Retke ptice (Francuska), O mesu i betonu (Brazil), Ali: Strah jede dušu (Slovenija), Nemoralne priče – 1. deo (Francuska), Yuropa (Nigerija), Istorija nasilja (Nemačka), Mladež bez boga (Hrvatska), Orest u Mosulu (Belgija) i Beograd na daljinski trupe Rimini protokol , nagrađene na prošlogodišnjem festivalu. Domaće boje braniće Zašto je poludeo gospodin R? Jugoslovenskog The transition from summer to autumn will this Septemberbemarked, as it hasbeen for the last fty-three years, byBitef, the festival of newtheatrical tendencies, which – under the artistic direction of Ivan Medenica – represents a cross section of world productions. Medenica has this year opted for a very interesting concept – with a programme focused on shows that erase the boundary between the audience and performers! There’s no doubt that the “awkwardness” that sometimes keeps us on the edge of our seats, wondering who will be called out from the audience next, will be the focus of Bitef this year. However, Medenica is sure in this concept and invites the audience to another theatrical provocation. That erasing of boundaries, according to him, has its own explanation: “In theatre studies we today refer to such theatre as “immersive”, but it has been known since at least the 1960s, when the American avant-garde of that time - troupes like the ‘LivingTheater’– hadmembers who dragged audiencemembers, evenat Bitef, onto the stage,”saysMedenica.“Thekeydi erence is that today’s participatory theatre is less aggressive andmore democratic. As stated through the title of the show of famous Brussels-basedcontemporarydancetroupeUltimaVez,“Invited” - with which we close Bitef and make the point of the the story - here you are only ‘invited’ to participate, to build a speci c communitywithperformers, usingthe resourcesof thestage…” Not all of the shows at the 53rd Bitef take this form: four of them are authentically immersive, while two domestic plays can be said to contain elements of this type of theatre. In order to map out a certain aesthetic phenomenon within a programmecontainingaroundadozenshows, it is enough tohave four or ve such shows, and they weren’t di cult to nd – given the widespread nature of immersive shows in contemporary world theatre. This phenomenon of contemporary theatre will be presented both through dramatic works, but also physical theatre performances, while the festival programme also features dance theatre. In particular, the shows of choreographers from Brazil and Nigeria are expected to attract the attention of the audience. “I devise the concept of Bitef in suchaway that each instalTekst / Words: Dragan Jovićević Fotografije / Photography: Bitef Dođite na novu pozorišnu provokaciju Come to another theatrical provocation
32 | dramskog pozorišta i zabranjivani Tartif u režiji Igora Vuka Torbice. Već ovako postavljen koncept navodi na sledeće pitanje za umetničkog direktora – u kojoj meri brisanje granica omogućava autorima da iskažu radikalniji politički stav i da li se on upravo tom radikalnošću vodio prilikom odabira predstava? – Manje je u pitanju intenzitet, a više vrsta političkog sadržaja. U imerzivnom pozorištu se zapravo ne artikuliše stav, političnost nije diskurzivna, ne svodi se na poruku, već je u samom iskustvu našeg gledalačkog bivanja u nekoj scenskoj situaciji, preuzimanja dela odgovornosti za nju. U slovenačkoj predstavi, rađenoj po Fasbinderovom filmu Ali: strah jede dušu, reditelj Sebastijan Horvat postavlja publiku u situaciju da do pucanja ispunjava i inače tesan fizički prostor junaka dramske fikcije i tako postane onaj treći koji sreću kvari, društvo/zajednica koja predrasudama, doslovno i metaforički, guši jednu ljubavnu vezu... Sasvim je druga uloga publike u Pozvanima: tu nismo remetilački faktor, već vođeni samim izvođačima, zajednički ispitujemo i gradimo solidarne, na pažnji i podršci zasnovane odnose i u tome se, sasvim u duhu postdramskog pozorišta o kojem piše Hans Tis Leman, ogleda političnost koreografije Sepe Bajensa... Iz mogućnosti da se, bar na trenutak, izgradi takav svet, potiče i slogan Bitefa, a koji je naslov pesme Aleksandra Koraća proslavljene u interpretaciji Beti Đorđević – Počnimo ljubav iz početka. Naravno, iako uvek najviše u fokusu, glavni program Bitefa nije i jedini, i ove godine pripremljeni su brojni jednako interesantni prateći programi. Medenica kaže da bi sve konceptualne osovine Bitefa bile jasno istaknute, potrebno je tematizovati ih i u pratećim programima, prevashodno onimdebatne prirode, kojih će i ove godine na Bitefu biti mnogo. – Posebno bih izdvojiomeđunarodnu tribinu o imerzivnompozorištu i novo izdanje Filozofskog teatra, u kojem će filozof Srećko Horvat razgovarati s Normanom Ohlerom o otkrićima tog nemačkog pisca o tome koliko su narkotici uticali na nacističku vrhušku, a po čijoj knjizi Leonardo Dikaprio želi da snimi film. Izdvajam i program posvećen sećanju na Borku Pavićević, velikog saborca, stvaraoca i prijatelja Bitefa. Jedan od pratećih programa je i festival novog cirkusa – Cirkobalkana. Sve je to jedan veliki poziv na ljubav. Iz početka. ment hasbothartisticand thematicaxes: eachof theselectedplays must rely on at least one of them. So, plays that are not immersive pose questions related to our theme for this year: the collapse of community – spanning everything from the state and family relations to partnerships – and attempts at its renewal... The world is perhaps in the midst of the biggest crisis since World War II, and some of the syndromes of this crisis are addressed by the plays of the 53rd Bitef: terrorism, juvenile violence and the impact of new technologies on the youth, the consent of citizens toauthoritarian regimes, the refugee tragedy, prejudiceagainst same-sex relationshipsor thosebetweenpeopleof di erent ages andbackgrounds.” Thus, the programme of the 53rd Bitef, to take place from17th to 26th September, will include – apart from the aforementioned Invited– the shows RareBirds (France), Of FleshandConcrete (Brazil), Ali: Fear EatsYour Soul (Slovenia), Immoral Tales - Part 1: Mother House (France),Yuropa (Nigeria), History ofViolence (Germany), YouthWithout God (Croatia), Orestes in Mosul (Belgium), and RemoteBelgradebydance troupeRimini Protokoll,whichwas awarded at last year’s edition of the festival. Our home colours will be defended by the Yugoslav Drama Theatre’sWhy Does Herr R. Run Amok? and the banned Tartu e, directed by Igor Vuk Torbica. A concept established in such a way raises the following question for theartisticdirector – towhat extent does theerasingof boundaries enable authors to express amore radical political stance and was it precisely such radicalism that guided him when it came to selecting plays? “It is less about intensity and more about the type of political content. In immersive theatre a stance actually isn’t articulated, politics isn’t discursive, it isn’t boiled down to a message, but rather is in the very experience of our viewer being in some situation on stage, in taking on part of the responsibility for it. In the Slovenian play based on Fassbinder’s lm Ali: Fear Eats Your Soul, director SebastijanHorvat place the audience in a situationwhere the stage is full to bursting in the otherwise narrowphysical space of the hero of this ctional drama, thus becoming the three that’s a crowd, as a society/community that, with its prejudice – literally and metaphorically – su ocates a love a air... The audience plays a completely di erent role in Invited: here we’re not a disruptive factor, but rather – led by the performers themselves – we jointly examine and build solidarity, through relationships established carefully and supportively, and in this – completely in the spirit of Postdramatic Theatre as written about by Hans-Thies Lehmann – is re ected thepolitical natureof this choreographybySeppeBaeyens... The possibility of building such a world, at least momentarily, is the foundationof Bitef’s slogan, which is the title of a songby composer Aleksandar Korać that was celebrated according to the interpretation of Beti Đorđević - Let’s Start Love Over.” Of course, although it’s always in the main focus, Bitef’s main programme isn’t the only programme, and for this year a number of equally interesting supportingprogrammes havebeenprepared. According to Medenica, in order for all of Bitef’s conceptual axes to be clearly accentuated, it is necessary to theme them in the supporting programmes, especially those that are of a debatable nature – and Bitef will also have many such plays this year. “Iwouldsingleout inparticular the international panel debate on immersive theatreandtheneweditionof thePhilosophicalTheatre, in which philosopher Srećko Horvat will speak with Norman Ohler about this German writer’s discoveries regarding the in uence of narcotics on the Nazi leadership, and whose book on this subject Leonardo DiCaprio wants to adapt for a lm. I would also single out the programme dedicated to the memory of Bitef’s great comrade, creator and friend, Borka Pavićević. Another of the supportingprogrammes is theCirkobalkana festival of newcircus.” Andallof this formsonebiginvitationtolove... Fromthestart.
