"DICE" is a contemporary drama set in Belgrade in 2025. The story follows Alexa, a high school student who believes that freedom and success are earned "in one move" — with a quick, winning combination.

Through eight scenes, we follow Alexa's fall: from the first excitement and small gains, through tireless compensation for losses, to the breakdown of relationships and identities and reality itself.

In this adaptation, echoes of Dostoyevsky — the relationship between Alexei and Polina — they run as a parallel about addiction, the search for oneself and the moment when the game stops being a game.

The play is intended for young people because it talks about their environment: online bookmakers, quick payment applications, constant advertisements, peer pressure and the illusion of quick earnings.

"Dice" is a warning — not moralistic, but empathetic. It raises the question: where is the limit and what happens when it becomes a game an obsession from which one must emerge victorious?

Premiered in December 2025, the play "Kocka" aroused great interest of the audience and the public, and in February performed again in the Great Hall of the Youth Center of Belgrade.
