Savremena’s students at the Mr Nušić’s Birthday play

Visits to cultural events are a key aspect of the school life of Savremena’s students and they are also a unique opportunity for students to learn and experience new things. As true theatre lovers, Savremena’s students were happy to visit the Zvezdara Theatre and watch the Mr Nušić’s Birthday play.

This interesting drama with elements of comedy was created two years ago and it marks the 150th anniversary of the literary giant’s birth. Apart from thrilled audiences, the play has won numerous awards, which include the Golden Turkey for the best acting performance in a play and for the best costumes in a play, warded at the Days of Comedy Festival.

A play that thrilled audiences

The play itself is set in Belgrade, on the 6th of November 1924 which just so happens to be the 60th birthday of Mr Nušić. It is by no means an ordinary day but the birthday of a great writer. The biodrama is a musical and dramatic homage to the life and work of Serbia’s most important comediographer.

With lightheartedness, humour and a creative set the play accentuates important facts about Nušić’s private and public life. The writer’s complex personality as well as the wild times he lived in are illustrated through the dialogues of the characters.

Beautiful and useful

By watching the play students were able to find out many important things about Nušić’s life and make a connection between his time and theirs. Visits to cultural events enable students to expand their knowledge and appreciation for the arts including, as was the case on this occasion, drama.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
