- Public reading of the play -
Realized as a part of the "Pearls from directors drawers" ("Бисери из управничких фиока") program, this public reading should be viewed as a part of a bigger picture. This program is mainly concentrated on the young Serbian dramatists; the name of the program refers to many young, progressive dramas that lay forever forgotten and unread in the drawers of the directors of the big theaters. That is why young Belgrade artists - authors, directors and actors - came together and help this "pearls" come to life and see the daylight.
The play by young author Tanja Šljivar revolves around a little girl from Bosnia who moved with her parents to Germany, and the clash between these two cultures. This story proved to be very symbolical and personal, since both the author and director lived in Germany together for a year.
