Abstract

The present work considers the way the play write Dušan Kovečević treats the concepts of homeland and death in his theatrical pieces, from the first ones (Maratonci trče počasni krug and Radovan III) to the latest ones (Hipnoza jedne ljubavi). The author finds that the idea of homeland in the works of Dušan Kovačević consists in several different ideas that merge with the idea of death, such as earth (where the dead are buried), authority (which sends men to death) and homeland (protagonist’s beginning and end). Encounters and mixings of these concepts offer a complex image of homeland in all the pieces of one of the most familiar Serbian comedists.
