Once Upon a Time in Brijuni
A co-production of Bitef Theatre, Joca Art and the Svilajnac Cultural Centre
Tito and Jovanka, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor on Brijuni in the 1970s — a historical drama with Milan Marić and Tihana Lazović.
- Friday, January 26, 2024 · 08:00 PM – 09:30 PM
- Kirchgemeindehaus Neumünster, Zürich
About the show
The play takes the audience back to the 1970s — to Brijuni, where, during the filming of Sutjeska, Josip Broz Tito and his wife Jovanka meet the legendary acting couple Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. From this improbable encounter of four iconic figures, the play explores roles and identities: politics and acting, public image and private body language, power and expectation.
