COUNTDOWN - at a wedding with Držić and Nalješković

LEA ANASTAZIJA FLEGER, MARINA PEJNOVIĆ, HRVOJE KORBAR Directors

This project redefines the idea of site specific theatre from the viewpoint of its existence in Dubrovnik from the 14th century to the present day stagings at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Based on textual criticism, theatrological and cultural-anthropological analyses of selected works by the Renaissance playwrights Nikola Nalješković and Marin Držić, the project comprises various segments of their output such as pastoral-idyll, carnival, wedding and mythological plays, focusing on wedding plays which were performed in the homes of Dubrovnik residents. The project will also pay special attention to other writings on the life of Renaissance Dubrovnik, which portray different forms of privacy theatralisation at the boundary between the specialised theatrological and anthropological studies.
