Where Are You From?
a theater play
All scenes of the following play cover the dramatically intense two-weeks leading to the rupturing year 1999 in Belgrade; they are all set in interiors. These interiors are mostly alike, and the stage is always empty, undecorated. The only object on the stage is a bed. It is a place on which everything unfolds. Characters are making it, unmaking it, moving it, and, according to the text, transforming it into different things, from a kitchen table to a car or an elevator, depending on what they need to use at the moment.
