THEATRE DIRECTOR AND A PLAYWRIGHT
MIRJANA MEDOJEVIĆ
S U M M A R Y
Theatre works of Mirjana Medojević are authentic creations characterized by a high degree of playfulness, freshness, innovation, metacontextuality, lyricism, ritualism, and corporeality. In her direction, the viewer should not expect an even or usual flow of the play, but a mosaic of surprises that weaves the tissue of the body of the composition.
