“Mario and the Magician”

“It was the exam performance of Belegišanin during the second year at the faculty. At the same time, it was the first performance that marked the birth of the theatre called “Promena” (Change) of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad.

The performance is characterized by immediate, even provocative contact with the audience, because the actors were hidden among the audience. The aim of the performance was to provoke the audience by hidden actors who whistled, made remarks and got angry because of the alleged delaying of the performance.

Imagined with shrewdness, very concrete and with certain risk, the performance “Mario and the Magician” represented a solid example of investigating basic abilities of theatre as a collective act and the relation actor-actor, spectator-actor.” (“Borba”, April 2, 1980)
