…it’s a performance that balances not only the dark Pirandellian humour and the playfulness of satirical grotesque (burlesque, even), but also a philosophically devised tragedy of resistance to our seeming turbofolk Destiny. There is no doubt that one part of the audience will be scandalized, but the scandal is not what revs up Frljić’s stage engine. Quite the opposite: the scandal here is ridiculed as cheap demagoguery of the Croatian everyday life. Instead, the whole ensemble demands taking a serious and analytical stand on the perception of social crime. Speaking of loyalty to Pirandello, I have yet to see a theatrical interpretation that is more Pirandellian than this one.
