After a few years break, the highly successful play Sin or Spritzer is back on the stage of the Dramski Teatar in Skopje. The play was written by Sashko Nasev and it explores contemporary and urban life. It premiered in the 1990s with renowned Macedonian actors including Dragan Spasov as Dac, Nenad Stojanovski and Silvija Stojanovska. Spasov won the Vojdan Chernodrinski award for his role.
In this revival of the play, the new director is Dean Damjanovski, whose goal is to create a theater product that reflects the present and communicates successfully with the audience. The only actor who remains from the old cast is Dragan Spasov – Dac, although this time around he appears as the father rather than as the son.
The musical score was composed by Venko Serafimov. Filip Jovanovski was in charge of set design and Biljana Karan designed the costumes. It is interesting to note that our incumbent Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski had a minor role in the original production of the play.
The Plot of the Story
The story goes back before the disastrous earthquake in Skopje 1963. A young woman, whose boyfriend is away serving the army, falls in love with his brother and sleeps with him. She becomes pregnant, but shortly after that the father of her child dies in an earthquake.
In those days it was much more unacceptable to be a single mom, so she decides to give her son up for adoption. Soon enough she marries and gives birth to a baby girl. When both her children grow into teenagers, ignorant of the fact that they are brother and sister, they fall in love with each other. The unhappy mom finds out about this and recognizes her son because he is is the spitting image of his father.
Charged with intense emotions, the play engages its audience to the very end. Life is full of strange twists and turns and plays are a mere reflection of them.
Sin or Spritzer is playing at the Dramski Teatar on either 10 or 24 December at 20:00.
