CEMENT BEOGRAD (CEMENT BELGRADE)

Cement is a text in turmoil: starting from the revolutionary upheavals in the USSR of the 1920s, through the struggle between the emancipatory aspirations of its characters and their anchoring in traditional family relationships, it turns to the love relationship of the main characters Dasha and Gleb Chumalov. Thus, the influence of social relations is broken down to the most intimate level. This is the third Belgrade production of a text by East German playwright Heiner Mülle, inspired by his play Cement (1972). In Sebastijan Horvat's version, which he worked out with Milan Ramšak Marković, the action is moved to contemporary Belgrade. The relationship between trauma and memory, political dementia, as well as the conflicts inscribed in our bodies are some of the motifs that characterize this final act of the examination of Heiner Müller in Belgrade. The play won the "Mira Trailović" Grand Prix at the 54th BITEF Festival, and Miodrag Krstovic won the "Raša Plaović" award in the "Best Actor" category of the Belgrade Theaters 2020/2021.
