Description
Drama 'Knjaz' dedicated to Prince Mihailo Obrenović III, a significant Serbian ruler. It illuminates dramatic moments from his life as a visionary reformer guiding Serbia to modernization, while torn between state duties and personal passions. His 1868 assassination in Košutnjak is a mysterious episode in Serbian history. The play traces political and intimate conflicts: battles with conservatives, tragic love with Princess Julia, forbidden affair with Catherine, and dilemmas casting him as a Balkan Hamlet—balancing duty, emotion, reason, and feeling. Drawing from historical sources, it blends fact, poetry, and theater for insight into historical figures' inner worlds. Text and direction: Miodrag Ilić.
