"Excellent art which prompts us to imagine"

Saint Prada (2022)

Ritual between criticism and celebration of the world of fashion

The play Saint Prada analyzes power relations within the fashion market as principles of capitalist society. Ideas about hierarchies and their (de)construction are the basic conceptual, theoretical and performance skeleton of the play through which the director Sanja Mitrović develops the dramatic and choreographic language of the play. Four women writers and one writer are invited by Vladimir Aleksić to write monologues in which they deal with related topics from the different perspectives of five different dramatic heroines. The obtained text material became the basic material for the adaptation of the performance text according to the director's concept of the play.
