Duration: 1h
Age: 6 +

This is a performance about the nature of the play, imaginative play in which we forget the reality. Serious play – when we face dangers. Entertaining play – when we laugh at ourselves. Cruel play – when some are in and the others out. Four adults play. They create words from nothing. They invite us to hear about a time when they were adults and when they forgot how important it was to play. In this performance children are not only the spectators, but also participate in the play, promising they will play as long as they live.

IGRA is an interactive production made as a result of the initiative and a workshop at the BITEF Polyphony 2007. It is a project of the Boško Buha Theatre in Belgrade in cooperation with Carte Blanche Theatre from Viborg, Denmark. It is based on the experience gained with the Danish production PLAY and represents its Serbian version.

The project is supported by the ASSITEJ Centres in Serbia and Denmark. It was initiated by Peter Jankovic, the Artistic Director of the Theatre Lampe in Copenhagen and President of ASSITEJ Denmark.
