The Committee of the City Secretariat for Culture, which decided which of the applicants to competition for financing theater activity projectsand should receive money from the budget, she said yes Association of Dramatic Artists of Serbia (UDUS) he does not deserve a single dinar.
UDUS says that this is the first time that this has happened to them since the city's competition.
Who are these people?
It is not known who the members of the commission are who rejected the programs and projects of UDUS, why they did it, or what arguments they used to defend their decision. The latter, for example, would be necessary to know.
Because how can anyone say that the "Dobričin prsten" Lifetime Achievement Award, the "Bojan Stupica" Director Award, the "Miloš Žutić" Award, the "Ljubinka Bobić" Award, the monographs on Anita Mančić, Bogdan Diklić and Slobodan Unkovski and the Ludus theater newspaper are unimportant to the culture of the City and the country?
And, after all, how did the Secretariat for Culture agree with their assessment?
Where are the theaters?
There are still unknowns regarding this competition. For example, why exactly these projects were chosen because there is no explanation, who was rejected and why.
For example, it can be seen that there is not a single theater on the list of those selected, and it is unlikely that none of them need money for a new play, and that among them there is a small number of those with public recognition.
What to say?
But it seems that those who chose them know something about them that the public does not know, and that is why the Secretariat for Culture of the City will finance, for example, a play Vrlinko Dobric Orthodox sports organization "Sveti Srb i ja" with 450.000 dinars, as well as a theater play A roommate of the company "Monte Media" from Niš, actress Olivera Ježina with 400.000 dinars, although culture is obviously not his main activity and he is not from Belgrade, which are the main conditions for participation in this contest.
Actress Tamara Krcunović, who stands in front of the performing arts company "Order, Work and Discipline" in Belgrade, received a million dinars for something called Autobiography of a Pumpkin, while the association ARA is registered on Lazarevac road, with zero employees and no website, for the production of the play The fate of a soul - Aca Simović received 480.000 dinars.
And so on.
What to say? The Association of Dramatic Artists of Serbia is a representative association in culture. And theaters are theaters. And, unlike the above examples, it is known what both the first and second mean for this culture.
