Aching Children Amongst Flowers by Antonela Tošić is a drama that adopts the increasingly prevalent trend among the younger generation of contemporary society, which is also becoming more prominent in dramatic writing: Instagram communication.
Premiere: December 2024.
Though on opposite sides of society, two young people establish an intriguing form of communication throughout the drama. SHE, a committed feminist, and HE, an equally passionate member of Torcida with a challenging social profile, do not find it easy to communicate—especially with her initial rejection. But once they both agree to step out of their own worlds, an emotional connection develops, pushing them from the margins towards the mainstream and accepting diversity. Skillfully written in Instagram's para-language, the drama, free of banality, becomes a mutual virtual confessional, revealing hidden details of their lives.
Challenging yet inspiring for the stage adaptation, Aching Children Amongst Flowers, a drama of subtle characterizations and skillful dramaturgy directed by Vinko Radovčić, will premiere in December 2024.
