Boško Buha Theatre - Vuk Theatre

This riotous farce-comedy-vaudeville was written in 1958 by the recently deceased Nobel laureate Dario Fo. He was one of the most prolific, most translated, and most performed playwrights in the world. Fo's style is characterized by a sense of paradox on which he builds his satire directed against institutions, corruption, the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, the system in general, making him relevant on all meridians, at all times. His theater finds its roots in brutal Renaissance comedy, expressing the basic idea that nothing changes in human selfishness despite cultural progress. The plot of this play is very simple: A burglar enters the apartment of a wealthy man (who happens to be a member of the city council), but his work is constantly interrupted by a ringing phone. With no way out, he answers, only to find out it's - his wife. Just as he solves that problem, the burglar is once again disturbed in his work by the unexpected return of the apartment owner and his lover. This is just the beginning of the comedic-vaudevillian twist, and as the play progresses, the obstacles to completing the job become greater and funnier.
