»Male«and »Female« Island of Marin Carić

Dubravka Crnojević-Carić ; Academy of Dramatic Art, University of Zagreb

Abstract

Marin Carić has thoughtfully selected his directorial oeuvre, which is marked by antithetical realities, mirror relationships, parodied Doppelgangers, parallel narrative strands. What is specially interesting is his consistent return to the native island of Hvar. The island in his oeuvre becomes an archetypical place used to lay bare the relationship between the symbolic and the semiotic in a condensed manner. In cooperation with Hvar Public Theatre, Carić has realized a series of stage productions which are still being performed, and which indicate the simultaneous existence of fiction and faction, a parallel existence of the past, present and future. His Hvar oeuvre is also inscribed with two parallel principles, two parallel voices which live and work on the island – the »male« and »female« principle, the »male« and »female« voice. In several intensive years of his work, Carić directed »male« and »female« plays: those with specifically male and those with specifically female protagonists, which mirrors the way in which social life on the island is structured. What is also worth noting is the final meeting of these two worlds, their contact-point realized via Eros and Thanatos.
