Ozren Grabarić draws attention to the contemporary danger of Nazism with a play staged in the Brijuni Islands

Croatian theater actor Ozren Grabarić is taking the stage this summer at a theater festival held in the Brijuni Islands. The famous actor appears in a play co-produced by Kazalište Ulysses and the SARTR theater from Sarajevo. The work to be staged is the drama 'Na čijoj strani' (Taking Sides) by the famous playwright Ronald Harwood.

Grabarić draws attention to the dangers in today's world in connection with the theme of the play. Emphasizing the lack of learning from history, the actor expresses how attractive and deceptive evil can become in our time. In this context, he states that the belief that the terrible faces of the past will never be repeated is a fallacy.

The artist's statements reveal that the idea of fascism and National Socialism (Nazism) having completely disappeared is a fallacy. The issue of how memories and historical awareness in societies weaken over time constitutes one of the central points of discussion in the play.

This important cultural event invites the audience to deep social reflection beyond merely offering a theatrical experience. The performance in the Brijuni Islands meets art lovers as the fruit of a regional theatrical collaboration and assumes a universal warning role in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
