Performance in Serbian with English subtitles

Aleksija Rajčić, the main heroine of Đorđe Kosić's play, has not had many choices in her life. Like all the other women, she is surrounded by those whose lives represent the model through which hers is expected to function. In a world steeped by the patriarchy, the only thing expected from Aleksija is to keep silent and endure hardships. The only alternative to a life that was predestined for violence and deprived of any choice, happiness or possibility of emancipation, even before it began, is death. 

Through a specific stylistic intervention in which he combines all the supporting characters in a male and female choir, the author of the play singles out Aleksija and her experience, putting them in focus alongside the depersonalised characters of this story, i.e. society, which is the biggest obstacle in this woman’s search for freedom and happiness.

In addition to the formal shaping of the text, the playwright also plays with the language, skillfully depicting the traumatic life story of a woman who, paradoxically, finds a way out of the vicious circle of violence and ultimate freedom in prison.
