Nikita Milivojević
The Bridge on the Drina
Based on Ivo Andrić’s novel of the same title
“In my eyes, bridges are more important than houses,more sacred than shrines.”
Ivo Andrić’s novel The Bridge on the Drina is a landmark work of Serbian literature, on a par with Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Andrić is the most widely translated Serbian author and the only recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature from former Yugoslavia, and this novel remains his best-known work. The story of a bridge, a fixed point of reference over the centuries while everything around it comes and goes, is brought to the stage by one of the foremost Serbian directors, Nikita Milivojević. A performance that is expected to move not only Greek and Serbian audiences, two countries with similar historical experiences, but also every individual regardless of nationality, insofar as the bridge constitutes a universal symbol of communication, creation, and survival.
