Notes:

Original Playwright - Biljana Sbrljanovic. Translated By: Kate Hoffman and Theo Petelov

Synopsis:

This is the U.S. and English-language premiere of Biljana Sbrljanovi?s acclaimed play Belgrade Trilogy. First performed in Belgrade in 1997 and set in Prague, Sydney, Los Angeles and Belgrade, Belgrade Trilogy is a dark comedy that centers on a group of young adults continually affected by the devastation of the Serbian culture and people in the post-war era. What happens when you are on the wrong side of a war? What happens when those closest to you are the ones who hurt you the most? And what happens when you hail from the social pariah of Europe? In this adaptation of Biljana Srbljanovi?s critically acclaimed dark comedy, we encounter a group of young Serbian adults who are spread across the globe and unwittingly tied to their countrys violent and war-torn past. In search of a better life, they all decided to leave their homeland and family behind, fleeing to the Czech Republic, Australia, and the United States. But for these naïve and complex characters, the reality is, the grass isnt always greener on the other side and a troubled past will follow you anywhere.

Apart from very popular and world touring productions, many performing arts events are largely forgotten about in a matter of months. Traces may remain in various collections, but few collecting agencies, such as libraries, catalogue each flyer or program individually. Hence, unless one knows that an event took place at a certain time in a certain place, tracking down such an event as part of a research project is often a matter of chance. Where research needs to be carried out on high profile and well-documented productions only, this is not a problem. However, both the historian and the analyst will attest that the cultural, political, or sociological context in which a performing arts event takes place is also of major importance, as are the other events that took place in close proximity, either in place or time. A good overview of such productions provides us with a 'social document' that can greatly enhance cultural studies in ways that extend far beyond the narrow confines of theatre history. For instance, data such as this can be used to monitor the health of communities, particularly when used in association with data obtained from other social science disciplines. When one researches a particular playwright one might want to know about all the productions of plays by that author; if one wants to investigate what choices a particular audience had over a period of history and compare this to, say, an ethnic breakdown of the population, one would need to know broadly all the events that took place during that time. If one wanted to do a statistical analysis on the shift in popularity of a genre over one or more generations, it is important to have knowledge of most of the relevant major and minor performance events that took place. In this context, issues of aesthetic quality and the professionalism of a production - which will of course have an impact on such studies - are not the determining factors when deciding to include or exclude events, since all events are the raw material for such research.
