One Flew over the Cuckoo’s nest

One Flew over the Cuckoo’s nest

In 1962, Ken Kesey published the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which perfectly resonated with the rebellious and free-spirited ethos of the time and achieved almost immediate, immense success. The author, who described himself as "too young to be a Beatnik and too old to be a hippie," used a tragically comic and quirky-intelligent approach to strike at the heart of the struggle between the individual and the always, to some extent, repressive system, hitting a nerve. Almost archetypically, through a gallery of characters that range from a lumberjack and a boastful gambler, a noble "savage," to a mute chief and the ice-cold head nurse. Just a year later, the famous playwright Dale Wasserman adapted the novel into a play that, as expected, captivated both audiences and critics. It’s no wonder that in 1975 *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest* was made into a film that won all the major Oscars. The story of Randle McMurphy, who decides to serve his prison sentence in a mental institution instead of jail, a game of outwitting the system that turns into a genuine fight for rights and freedom of spirit, a battle against a repressive system where the man ultimately loses his sanity, was brought to the stage under the direction of the brilliant Dražen Ferenčina.
