Serbian Culture

Paper Summary:

This paper presents some information of the culture of Serbia. The paper explains that Serbian theater is more than eight centuries old, beginning and continuing throughout the middle ages, to modern times. The first modern Serbian play was the school drama entitled "Traedokomedija", written by Manuil Kozacinski in the late 1600's. The paper also looks at the work of some of the more well-known Serbian playwrights.

From the Paper:

"At the end of the nineteenth century, the influence of French theater strengthened. Before the World War I, this was the influence of Comedie-Francaise and Paris Boulevard theaters, rather than new theatre trends in France. Recent styles of European dramaturgy and theater (Naturalism, Symbolism, Expressionism) - and not only French - were sensed in Serbian dramaturgy and theatre. Borisav Stankovic introduced new sensitivity and new poetic tones in the Realist approach into the already worn-out genre of popular folk plays "with singing", with his work Kostana (first performed in 1900), which has a cult following among Serbian theaters and audiences."
