Abstract

For about forty years, pupils from different parts of Croatia meet at the annual festival named LiDraNo to present the best individual and group drama works that they had practiced during the previous school year. In this paper the authors presented all individual and group performances of elementary school pupils at state festival LiDraNo in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The purpose of this paper was to single out the authors whose works were the most frequently chosen to be performed by the pupils, but also to indicate which schools and teachers have participated several times at the festival. The authors concluded that the most performed author was Sanja Pilić, while the most poetic group performances were those led by Vera Piščević and Alen Barbić.
The historical part of the festival, which is referred to in the first part of the paper, was not analyzed systematically. Instead, the authors singled out the basic principles on which the pupils’ dramatic expression was based: short scenic plays were replaced by festive plays in 1980’s, and after that overacting and imitation of the adults was also abandoned. For individual performances they suggested dialectal poetry.
Comparing the participation principles in 1997 and 2007 the authors noticed certain changes in individual performances. In 1997, individual performances were limited to recitals and free forms. On the other hand, in 2007, besides poetry and recitals, there were other, new forms such as monologues, monodramas, and speeches. The main reason for such change is the occurrence of new texts that dominate at LiDraNo at all levels
