Photo: National TheatreThe performance of "Balkan Spy" was canceled last night just before the meeting of the Student List at Slavija - due to the indisposition of the actors. "I am not indisposed," says the director of the play, Tatjana Mandić Rigonat
Around 17 p.m., almost immediately before the start of the pre-election rally Student lists Students win on October 22 in Belgrade at Slavia, National Theatre has informed the audience on its website and Instagram account that the play "Balkan Spy", which starts at 20:30 p.m., has been cancelled.
The performance is "cancelled due to the indisposition of the actors"(!) is written on the website.
So not because of the illness of the actor/actress or for technical reasons, which are usually cited as the reason for canceling the show.
"It's the anthology announcement of the National Theater!" he says for "Vreme" Tatjana Mandic Rigonat, director of the play.
"I'm not indisposed. On the contrary, I'm excited about which side of history the majority of my guild is on."
As far as we know, the author of the announcement is the marketing department, which, in turn, receives instructions from the theater management.
The evening before, when Belgrade welcomed students and citizens who walked to Belgrade from various directions in Serbia to attend the last pre-election rally "Pobeda zove", the start of the play "Balkan Spy" was delayed.
Did the National Theater think that the city would be passable on October 22, so it didn't cancel the performance on the day the Student List announced the rally? They didn't see it until three and a half hours before the show started?
"Balkan Spy" stars Ljubomir Bandović, Nela Mihailović, Bojana Stojković, Katarina Marković, Milutin Milošević and Vanja Milačić.
Those of "Balkan Spy" have been playing since October 1, 2018.
Why would they be indisposed tonight to go on stage and tell the audience - here, see, this is your reality? Why didn't the management of the National Theater simply say - the performance is cancelled, everyone would know the reason. Because no one is indisposed because of a city full of youth and radiant faces.
