The play “The Last Piano Lesson,” written by Adnan Lugonić and directed by Nina Nikolikj, will have its world premiere on Friday, April 17, starting at 8:00 PM, at Teatar 071, located at Sime Milutinovića 2/II.
The apartment at Sime Milutinovića Sarajlije 2 will become an apartment in Biesenthal, a quiet East German town, where a meeting will take place between Jasmina, a refugee from BiH, and Frau Gut, a piano teacher. Although they come from different worlds, the two of them have developed a deep friendly relationship. While Jasmina’s daughter practices the piano in the adjacent room, Jasmina and Frau Gut spend the lesson time in their usual socializing. It will turn out to be the last one.
The play stars: Selma Alispahić and Džana Džanić.
“This play is a special challenge for me because it speaks about the universal theme of the refugee struggle in an intimate way, through a personal story. It is a theme that strongly corresponds with today’s state of the world, but also with the general principle of non-acceptance and lack of solidarity – which inevitably lead to divisions, conflicts, and prejudices. At the same time, the play is deeply rooted in the feeling of loneliness of every individual, which arises precisely as a result of the absence of that same tolerance.” – stated the director, Nina Nikolikj.
The dramaturg is Adnan Lugonić, set and costume designer Adisa Vatreš Selimović, composer Oliver Josifovski, photographer Velija Hasanbegović, while the poster design is by Almir Kurt Kugla.
Rerun performances are scheduled for April 18 and 19 starting at 8:00 PM. We note that, after the premiere of the drama “Sniper,” this will be the second premiere title of the newly founded Teatar 071.
The play was produced in co-production with Peripetija Production.
The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo Canton and the Municipality of Stari Grad in cooperation with the Multimedia Cultural Center CZK.
Tickets can be purchased exclusively online, via the platform karter.ba.
