MACEDONIAN DRAMA BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS

Miro Grubić ; Znanstvena knjižnica Zadar, Zadar, Hrvatska

Abstract

At the end of 1936, Miroslav Krleža was offered to have his play In the Camp put on in Skoplje, along with Osijek and Beograd. Krleža attended the premiere of his play, and in a letter dated Jan.18th 1937, he wrote to Bella: "Skoplje is an infinitely more interesting theatre than any our theatre and we should not sit and waste our time in rooms and cafes of Zagreb but "travel across the nation". This sentence of Krleža’s provokes curiosity and makes one investigate in more detail this period of Macedonian culture, in particular drama, as the main cause of the
phrase "theatre of all theatres". For a better reference, this paper focuses on three immanent and most performed authors of the period: Vasil Iljoski, Anton Panev and Risto Krle. The unavoidable theme of all the three writers is emigration − result of the hard life of Macedonians in a divided and occupied Macedonia.
