Drame: Kostana, Tasana, Jovca [Serbian]

By Borisav Stanković

U knjizevnom opusu velikog Bore Stankovica svoje mesto nasle su i tri drame: Kostana, njegovo najpoznatije scensko delo, jedno od najcesce izvodjenih i najgledanijih u Srbiji; Tasana, nastala dramatizacijom pripovetke Paraputa, izgubljena u Velikom ratu, dovrsena po secanjima i sacuvanim objavljenim odlomcima u casopisima tek 1927. godine, i Jovca, njegovo najmanje poznato scensko delo, nastalo dramatizacijom istoimene pripovetke. Kao i u svojim pripovetkama i romanima, Stankovic narativni svet svojih drama plete oko tema neostvarenih ljubavi, ceznje za prohujalom mladoscu, zelje za dinamicnim i slobodnim zivotom, i pri tom, sve licne i porodicne drame svojih, tragicnim sudbinama ophrvanih junaka, zbog neumoljivog mehanizma patrijarhalnog drustvenog poretka, uvek smesta daleko od ociju sveta, iza visoko podignutih ograda njihovih carsijskih domova.

The great Vranje storyteller for the stage. This volume collects Stankovic's three plays: the beloved Kostana, the reconstructed Tasana (based on a wartime-lost manuscript), and Jovca, adapted from his own fiction. Desire strains against duty; youth looks over its shoulder at the freedom it never had; and behind high courtyard walls, private lives collide with public codes. Stankovic gives his characters the full dignity of their contradictions, and the music of southern speech rises through every scene. A rich entry point for readers and theater groups exploring modern Serbian drama.
