Diyana Milosevic, the director of
the Dah Theater of Belgrade, Yugoslavia, will present a lecture (with video
clips) titled “The Role of the Artist in the Dark Times” on Thursday, Nov. 14,
at 5 p.m. in Arts 215, at Union College.
At 8
p.m. the same day, actress Sanja Krsmanovic-Tasic will perform “Singing
Bodies, Dancing Voices” in Old Chapel at Union.
“The Role of the Artist in the
Dark Times” comes out of the experiences in Yugoslavia,
which has been the site of internal warfare and then NATO bombing during most of the 1990's.
In
“Singing Bodies, Dancing Voices,” Sanja Krsmanovic-Tasic performs
excerpts of roles she has performed with Dah Theater in the 10 years of their
existence, dealing with issues they have lived with during this time: war, ethnic
cleansing, and the breakup of their country.
