Andrijana Trpković – Lucie Ferenzová – Markéta Dvořáková ONE NIGHT STAND/UP! Kolonie z. s.

CRIES AND WHISPERS
“Balkan war comedy” about growing up on Croatian beaches and on the streets of Belgrade during the troubled 1990s. Memories of Yugoslavia, Nike shoes, bombardment and moving to the Czech Republic. A funny yet disturbing one woman show, full of black and incorrect humour. A female view of director Lucie Ferenzová at the bloodstained conflict inspired by the journalist Vedrana Rudan’s work.
