Nightmare of endured war reality becomes the backbone of this play in which a mysterious infection slowly turns people into rhinoceros. Metamorphosis connecting totalitarian linguistic discourse and primal human animalism becomes thus a powerful image of lost humanity in the invading tide of madness and as such a welcome theatre vaccine against all forms of collective contagions.

Ibsen uncompromisingly leads his hero beyond the order where democracy represents a mere terror over majority fascinated by their own gain. Doctor Stockmann - because of his insistence to cleanse the actual and moral quagmire of the community – will be declared an enemy of the people. Because “people”–manipulated by local rulers – will stand by a nice and righteous doctor only until they realizethat his discovery could give their town a bad name and empty their pockets. 

In this Pirandello’s play the so-called ordinary people interrupt a theatre rehearsal unexpected and uninvited with an unusual request: we want our story to be told on the stage! This rough intrusion into the protected theatre space is no longer a trigger for conversational drama of absurdism as it was at its première, but possible start of a cruel, activist story about theatre occupied by people in a desperate search for any kind of satisfaction. Those six characters, disappointed with political leaders and banking elites, choose theatre as their last resort, however under their terms.

A Romance of Three Loves by Šoljan is a witty and touching drama play in verse, formally endued with Moliere – Shakespeare features, which puts us at the same time the most complicated questions about love and life. On the Stage 55 it will be directed by Nikola Šimić.

Critically acclaimed play by Elvis Bošniak, the most important Split playwright in the last fifteen years, directed by Nenni Delmestre, returns to the Croatian National Theatre Split stage in this season again. At 26th Marulić Days Bed of Nails received awards for the best play, best director and best actor - Goran Marković playing Toma.

A play directed by Goran Golovko, with its subversive mix of elements of vaudeville, comedy, melodrama, tragedy ... profoundly interferes with the fabric of family relationships.

Melodrama, authors’ project by Anica Tomić and Jelena Kovačić attempts to answer one simple question: Are we ready to take responsibility?

Hilarious Tomić’s story about the Poskok (Viper) family, authoritarian father and four sons lost in the wasteland of Dalmatian hinterland represents uniquely humorous script for an excellent comedy. Namely, the oldest son is fed up with his father’s terror, dirty laundry and polenta in a hundred different ways and decides to change his life by getting married. Ever since that moment time is measured by a new calendar within the macho world of the Poskok family.

Directed by TrpimirJurkić, Stage 55 presents a psychological game of discovering "disease history" of a fifteen years long marriage and numerous problems that have been pushed under the carpet for too long.

Perhaps the most significant literary work on alienation has been transformed into a chamber drama directed by Ivan Plazibat, where Nikša Arčaninin with a masterful stage movement evokes the fate of a man trapped in a monstrous insect-like creature.

The Ballads of Petrica Kerempuh by Miroslav Krleža, directed by Georgij Paro and performed by the Croatian National Theatre Varaždin, was awarded as the best play of 9^th Gumbek Days Festival. Version which connects the poetic world of ballads with emphatic critically displayed contemporary reality created an extraordinary drama of stratified meanings with spectacular directing and great acting performance.
