Marko Tomaš’s intimate text provides a fresh lens into poet Aleksa Šantić’s life, reflecting the tension between personal aspirations, societal expectations, and local mythology. More than a biography, it’s a deep dive into his emotional landscape.
„However, the greatest value of this play – at least from my own, “non-Mostar perspective” – lies in the fact that it also represents a study of death and doom, a grand literary topic that was tackled by some great authors such as Tolstoy, Thomas Mann or Carlos Fuentes, which seems to give the play an air of universality. ”. – Josip Mlakić
