We invite you to the Festival of European Drama – FED

“What are you dreaming about – between dialogue and monologue in contemporary European drama”
18 – 21.11.2024. Belgrade Drama Theatre

Students of the Belgrade Dance Institute: Miona Petrović, Mina Ćirić, Kira Photion and Evan Linden will participate in the performance of the Festival of European Drama (FED), which will be held from November 18 to 21 in the Belgrade Drama Theater. The festival is held under the title “What are you dreaming about – between dialogue and monologue in contemporary European drama” organized by the BDP, the Silver Tree and Third Square associations. The FED European Drama Festival presents seven contemporary, multi-award-winning playwrights from the Czech Republic, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, Romania, Norway and Cyprus.
During the Festival, seven pieces will be presented, written in European languages: Czech, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Swedish, Romanian and Norwegian.

The festival will open on November 18 with the premiere of the play “Dance in the Water” by the Czech author David Drabek directed by Dina Radoman, and from November 19 to 21 there will be six public readings of plays by the most outstanding and highly awarded contemporary European playwrights who will be guests of the festival and with whom conversations will be organized after the reading. The play “Dance in the Water” by the Czech playwright and director of the middle generation David Drabek, directed by Dina Radoman, is a confession about the impossibility of an authentic life in today’s society and follows it in a tragicomic and surreal way.

What do we dream about? Are dreams the fulfillment of wishes or some other, parallel reality? Do they haunt, inspire or motivate us? How do they move us? In addition to the main theme – dreams, the plays problematize a number of very different themes such as: parent-child relationships, parallel realities, visions of a better world, loneliness, the search for love, the fragility of emotional balance in adolescence, reflections on ecology through the voices of nature…

All programs will be held on the Small Stage “Predrag Pepi Laković” starting at 19:00 or 20:30.
Play books were published by Silver Tree and Third Square as part of the WEDA – What Europe Dreams About project, as part of the Paper Stage library.

The Festival is supported by the European Commission through the Creative Europe program, the Swedish Arts Council, Flemish Literature, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, the Portuguese Embassy in Serbia, the School of Engineering Management and the Belgrade Dance Institute.
