The awarded drama performance Reality in BerlinDrama — 24. September 2024.
After the international commencement of the season of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb with the Portuguese guest performance Pendulum, the multi-awarded performance Reality by Tomislav Šoban was performed in Berlin on September 24 and 25, 2024 with the national principal Nina Violić and drama principal Livio Badurina. The venue was the International cultural centre ufaFabrik and the guest performances were supported by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia.
It is our pleasure to showcase Reality in Berlin and present ourselves to an international audience with this drama experiment that offers something different from the usual repertoire of the CNT In Zagreb, said the Drama director of the CNT in Zagreb Tena Štivičić.
Reality has received the award for the best performance at the Days of Marulić 2024 in Split and Nina Violić was granted the Marul award for the best actress. At the 48th Fadil Hadžić Days of Satire, Livio Badurina was granted the award for the best male role and Tomislav Šoban for the best director.
In the performance, Nina Violić and Livio Badurina perform an experiment inspired by the lectures of physicist Richard Feynman in which laws of physics are put in the context of social conventions and human destinies. The range of characters they create offers diverse possibilities for the interpretation of time and space in which they perform. The world opening night took place on October 15, 2023 in the Sound Hall of the CNT in Zagreb.
