The Indian wants the Bronx

By Israel Horovic

The Indian wants the Bronx is the award-winning play by Israel Horowitz and first performed by Al Pacino. It is a powerful and disturbing study of the mindless cruelty of two teenage boys towards an Indian stranger.

The play takes place in a deserted bus station in the upper sector of New York's Fifth Avenue, where an older Indian man waits for the bus to take him to the Bronx, where his son works. At the station are two bored boys, Murphy and Joey, bullies always ready to harass the weak and helpless, who take this opportunity to perform their regular program of violence, arrogance and cruelty.

This drama is a small masterpiece that exposes the mechanism of violence and the psychology of the violent, who themselves are marginalized, living on the edge of society and embracing violence as a primary means of expression.

At the same time, the piece emanates humor and truth, without any trace of the pathetic.  Its performance should arouse great emotion and compassion in the audience, leaving in them the determination to fight against such dangers and evil.

The Blond Jewish Girl

Set in Bosnia at the beginning of the 20th century, the story continues to resonate today as a timeless tale of intolerance and prejudice towards any identity considered "other."

Weaving drama and music, the show features a blend of Bosnian songs, sevdalinka, and Jewish songs from the Sephardic tradition, performed live on stage by the band Shira u'tfila and guest musician from Bosnia, Vlada Savic.

Plava Jevrejka

Isak Samokovlija  

Plava jevrejka je bosanska verzija priče Romeo i Julija. Melodrama o ljubavi između jevrejske devojke i srpskog mladića. Predstava se sastoji od dramskog i muzičkog dela  gde je zastupljena bosanska sevdalinka kao i jevrejska sefardska pesma. Muziku izvodi grupa „Šira u’tfila" sa gostom Vladom Savićem, koji donosi repertoar bosanskih sevdalinki.

Ova drama našla je mesto u našem vremenu jer govori o različitosti, zatvorenosti i netoleranciji vera i nacionalnosti.

Address Unknown

By Kathrine Kressmann Taylor

Address Unknown belongs among the great and irreplaceable texts on the Holocaust, like the Diary of Anne Frank (1947) and Szpilman's Pianist (1996), an unavoidable document which speaks about the creation and continuity of fascism as a new, little-known pestilence on the European political stage.

 Its contemporary revival underscores the continuing attraction of fascism as a theory that justifies systematic radicalism, violence, and hatred.  The power and pull of this drama shows how fascism and the forces that led to the Holocaust have only changed their location and form of appearance, from the skinhead and right-wing movements in modern European societies to the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, continuing reluctance to confront war crimes and persistent nationalism.

Adresat Nepoznat

 Katrin Kresma Teilor

 Knjiga Katrin kresman Teilor Adresat nepoznat spada u red onih velikih nezamenjivih knjiga o holokaustu u koje spada i Dnevnik Ane Frank (1947) i Špilmanov Pijanista (1946), u one nezaobilazne dokumente vremena koji govore o samom mehanizmu nastanka i trajanja fašizma kao nove, malo poznate pošasti na političkoj pozornici Evrope.

Značaj ovog dela, objavljenog prvi put u Americi 1938. a pisanog na osnovu stvarnih činjenica i događaja, ogleda se i u tome što je svoj revival doživelo u naše dane, kao što su ga doživela i druga slična dela zbog fatalne privlačnosti fašizma kao teorije podesne za sve radikalizme, sistematizovana nasilja, netrpeljivost prema manjinama, prema manjinskim načinima življenja i ponašanja, za ksenofobiju, nepodnošenje drugog i drugačijeg, za antisemitizam, rasizam i svaku versku i drugu isključivost.

 Ovo delo nam se čini isto toliko aktuelno kao u doba svoga nastanka – što govori da fašizam i holokaust prikriveni i dalje žive i traju sa tom razlikom što menjaju mesto, sredinu i formu.
