Here are a few photos of the JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater's lobby with my poster for the play "Eldorado" by Marius von Mayenburg.
It's unfortunately good timing for this play.
The play starts, as the smoke rises from another city saved by coalition bombs, with a graphic account of a city where the government quarter is in ruins, refugees are confined to the sports stadium and animals have fled the bombed-out zoo. But although devastation for the majority becomes an investment opportunity for the minority, the play deals with the mental disintegration that accompanies urban disaster. Anton, an estate agent seeking to sell a surviving complex to his rich mother-in-law, becomes progressively more unhinged.
Behind the play lies an implicit question: how do we go on living when unspeakable crimes are being committed in the name of western democracy?
