🔸Kamerni teatar, Sarajevo Sunday 12/11/2023 We invite you to come and recommend these events in Belgrade, Skopje and Sarajevo in order to explore this engaging format of public discussions that will include our local alumni and their fellow citizens. ABOUT THE CABARET: Probably everyone of you had the experience of having an honest conversation with someone that made you feel much more connected and intimate. On the other hand, you were somewhat sorry that the conversation was not recorded in order to influence the public and remain among the generations to come. That very moment will happen on the stage itself, where the one-way socially engaged cabaret drama transmitted through the music and the sincere lyrics of the poet Nebojsa Kuruzović turns into public dialogue at the moment when the guests come from the audience. The poet offers the opportunity for anyone from the audience to freely come on stage and talk to him frankly about the topics that are hidden in three hats: 1. freedom, 2. solidarity and reconciliation and 3. challenges of the digital world. Depending on the chosen topic, at the end of the conversation, the guests will be able to draw the name of a song from a hat that will be performed for them by the best Banja Luka jazz band "Combine". Through the performance we will hear the reflections of the poet on these socially sensitive topics and the views of beeEFBAlumni Network alumni and local citizens. The poetry and music that is performed is entirely original and has elements of the standup form. It is a unique and inclusive artistic event that does not preach civic participation, freedom of speech and solidarity as a slogan from the stage, but allows it to actually happen on it. When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
