In Belgrade, media and public attention was occupied by the National Theater, so it is not noticed that other theaters have one or two premieres this season, and this is an accurate indicator of the position of culture in this Serbia.
In mid-March National Theatre rehearsals of the play began in Belgrade God's people, whose premiere is expected in June.
National Theatre
Later on Mrs. Olga, it will be the second drama premiere of the National Theater this season. Since it is Mrs. Olga co-production with the National Theater in Banja Luka, one could say that it will God's people to be the first and only premiere that the National Theater realized this season. Also, considering that both projects are part of the plan of the previous administration, it could be said that the current one, Bokan/Bajić/Stefanović, did not produce a single drama premiere this season.

It is more or less the same in the other theaters of the capital, but considering that all the media and public attention is on the National Theater, it seems that it is not noticed - or it is a matter of accepting abnormality for normality.
However, the unacceptably small number of premieres in the season is a true indicator of the position of culture in current Serbia.

The best in town
Small theater With four premieres, "Duško Radović" is the best in the city. They are Treasure Island Kokan Mladenovic, If bees disappear from the face of the earth Tijane Grumić directed by Anja Suša, Crocodile co-production with OperaLab i, from Friday i Little Frida based on the text of Jelena Kovačić and directed by Đurđe Tešić.
"Little Frida"
Conclusion. From September of last year until today, the 9 listed theaters of the capital managed to realize only 16 performances.
This, I guess is clear, is not the result of them, but of their founders - the Ministry of Culture and the Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade, who agree to an obscenely low budget for culture.
Note: the above dictionary refers only to the listed theaters, not to all theaters financed by the Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade.
