The actress of the Youth Theater Slavica Vučetić is a member of the "Novi Sad Theater Festival" Council. Between the obligations she has with the Drama Studio during the festival, whose students participate in discussions with the creators after the performances, she talked about why it is important that Novi Sad has a festival like this...
"Novi Sad Theater Festival" is designed as a festival that is not limited to only one type of expression (puppetry, drama theater, musical, contemporary dance...), but as a festival that presents a wide range of creativity for the young and youngest audience to the local audience. This concept comes primarily from the desire to present our youngest fellow citizens with the most diverse forms of contemporary theatrical creativity for children and young people, performances that they do not have the opportunity to see in their immediate environment, to discuss them and build their own theater form preferences.
From the point of view of all of us who professionally deal with theater for children and young people, we are proud that already in its second year of existence, our festival has gained a notable place on the world festival map and that renowned theater creators respond to the invitation to participate in it. With a large number of friends and associates from the region, who, as our guests, follow the entire festival program, we raise professional standards in theater for children and young people and build a network of associates for new, even more challenging projects."
