EAST SARAJEVO, APRIL 9 /SRNA/ - The acting director of the National Theatre of East Sarajevo Jelena Krstić and the director of the Vladimir Academic Drama Theatre Boris Gunjin signed a cooperation agreement between these two cultural institutions.
Krstić said that the signing of the agreement is a significant event for the National Theatre, as it has been operating for less than a year and does not yet have a full ensemble or all the necessary personnel. She expressed hope that the theatre from Vladimir will assist them in preparing new plays.
According to her, the agreement also includes the exchange of plays between the two theaters and the sharing of experiences.
"This is of great significance for us and our theater. This is also a bridge of friendship, and we are very grateful to them, especially for coming and allowing us to enjoy their monodramas for three days," Krstić told reporters in East Sarajevo.
Gunjin says that the theater he leads has existed for 176 years, while the theater in East Sarajevo is relatively young, emphasizing that one should spend time with the young.
"It is a great honor for us to have signed an agreement today with the National Theater in East Sarajevo. I assume that we will continue to socialize and cooperate in the future," Gunjin said.
According to him, the Vladimir Theater organizes several festivals throughout the year.
He expressed hope that the National Theater of East Sarajevo would take part in those festivals, and that the signed agreement would be long-lasting and beneficial to all.
This evening, the repertoire at the National Theater includes a monodrama performed by the Russian theater titled "My Mother, Secretary of the Angel of Death," which tells the story of a woman whose parents were prisoners in Auschwitz.
In the previous two days, the audience had the opportunity to see the monodramas "Anna between War and Peace," which tells the story of an evening with a Russian actress in a Russian theater and a St. Petersburg salon during the time of the war against Napoleon, and "By the Blue Stars," a monologue of an "ordinary Russian" of today.
