Voja Brajović and Sergej Trifunović will perform the play "Train" for the 250th time tomorrow, and in almost nine years since the premiere, 46.000 people have seen them
Duodrama Voz starring Voja Brajović and Sergej Trifunović, will be performed for the 250th time tomorrow at "Zvezdara Teatr".
Voz is a philosophical drama by Cormac McCarthy, a philosophical discussion between two heroes who meet at the train station, about Bel, a professor played by Voja Brajović, and Black, a former prisoner, played by Sergej Trifunović. It takes two hours, requires complete concentration, and is nowhere near fun. And yet, tickets for Voz were sold already on the second day of the month for the whole month, and since the premiere in October 2015 until now, more than 46.000 viewers have seen it.
What is the secret of her longevity? Are people coming because of two famous actors?
Voja Brajović, who adapted and directed Kormak's text, tells "Vreme" that "everything is to blame for the word-advertisement, and the fact that the topic Train it concerns everyone. Because everyone wonders, for example, whether I believe or not. Because we all believe, even atheists. When an atheist says 'I don't believe', that is also a belief. He believes that he does not believe. Also, everyone thinks about nothingness and eternal life, about the origin of life, where we got this life from - these are the themes of this play. That's why I always say that when it's over, Voz it's just beginning, because it continues to live in the thoughts of those who watched us."
"Simply, it lasts because it concerns everyone - we play it as an interactive play, the auditorium is not in the dark, but the two of us and the audience are under the same light."
He says that he recently met "a young man who brought his friends to our play, and he himself watched it 11 times." It's that mund-advertisement for Voz it has been going on for the ninth year. Those who have seen her continue to think about her, tell others about it – and word spreads better than the best marketing.”
Because of the end of the play, many see this time in it, says Brajović, "and that is justified, but the theme of this play is above the banal optimism that can be recognized in it, simply, it is above time."
