Last day is here! Are you still here, counting? Curious what is all this about? Is this a game, you ask. Is this a game?
23 hours 37 minutes left … When counting aloud we want to keep an track of progress. What is the number of a desired places we want to be in the same time? What is the number of a desires we can’t even express? What is the number of the mistakes we make? What is the number of the denials about ourselves?
About Me
- Sanja Mitrovic
- Sanja Mitrovic is theatre director and performer born in Yugoslavia, based in Amsterdam. She is a founder and artistic director of Stand Up Tall Productions (2009). In 2010 Mitrovic was awarded the prestigious Dutch BNG Nieuwe Theatermakers Prijs for the best young director for her production “Will You Ever Be Happy Again?” which is touring Europe to critical acclaim since 2008 (selected among five best performances of the 2009/10 season by magazine TIN). Mitrović is interested in the notion of documentary in theatre and its relation to the social, political and cultural realities of our times. Her performances are structured around the idea of montage combining theatre, performance, dance and visual arts. As documentary material she often uses personal stories and testimonies which she contrasts with official historical accounts. The form resulting from such a combination she terms a “docu-tale”. Permeated with subtle humour and sharp analysis, her works are marked by an urgency to explore the influence of the collective processes as well as important political and social issues on the private lives.

If I would start counting about all this, I would find myself in a middle of nowhere, no man's land. The feeling of wanting to be somewhere else or thinking that somewhere else is better is present all the time. In the first section of this blog, START, it was said to get rid of all the cliches in the beginning. One of them is: acceptance of your own impossibility to be satisfied/happy will bring you to the state of loving yourself.
Anyhow, I am already in the game, so I am counting as well. How many cliches do I have to go through in order to catch the real point of being... whatsoever?
Does one start loosing his roots when start dreaming in some other language?
Many times when going for a holidays I wanted to stay in that place, forever. The situation of being on a holiday is a specific one, makes us think that we can just escape from everything, looks so easy. Many times I wanted to "escape", but never can run away from who I am in my heart. Difficult thing in the fact that your heart is deceitful.
