Ohrid, 19 August 2021 (MIA) – The Yugoslav Drama Theatre’s play ‘My Husband’, directed by Jovana Tomić and based on the collection of short stories by Rumena Buzharovska, will be performed on Thursday as part of Ohrid Summer Festival. In the collection of short stories, Buzharovska creates portraits of different women and connects them by putting their husbands in the center of their lives and actions. The dynamic of the interpersonal relations is always the same - the man is on the pedestal while the woman remains in the grey zone of existence, barely managing to go about her daily routines and needs without in any way compromising the male position and power. Buzharovska does not question or criticize the broader context that determines the relationships, actions, and situations that the characters encounter. She vocally protests the patriarchate while admitting that it is our reality and will remain such for a significantly long time. ‘My Husband’ stars Jovana Belović and Sanja Marković. The play will be performed at the Gligor Prlicev Culture Center. The performance starts at 9 pm and is not suitable for audiences under the age of 16. Director Jovana Tomić graduated and earned her post-graduate diploma at the Faculty for dramatic arts in Belgrade at the Department for theatre and radio directing in the class of Alisa Stojanović. At the Yugoslav Drama Theatre, she directed G. E. Lessing’s “Nathan the wise” (2019), and has signed the productions of “The Fire raisers”, “Hillarious darkness” (Attelier 212), “Cabaret Nushic” (Theatre “Zoran Radmilovic”, Zajechar), “Lolita” (Madlenianum), “Barefoot in the park”, (Paolo Grassi), “Lysistrata” (National theatre Subotica), “Exodus” (Dragstor 22.44) etc. She has won the prize of Radio Belgrade 2 at the radio drama competition “Neda Depolo”. The play “Movement” brought her six awards at the 65 Sterijino Pozorje Festival.
