Marlene
Haris Pašović / Mirjana Karanović
In Marlene Haris Pašović, one of South-East Europe’s most influential and prolific directors and playwrights, stages the story of the iconic film star of the Third Reich who, during World War II, decided to fight Nazism alongside the Americans. This self-confident woman, coherent and upright, mysterious and erotic, in a present marked by chatter rather than debate about the public role of women, becomes an iconic figure of self-determination, of someone who forges destiny on her choices. On stage, impersonating Marlene, is Serbian actress Mirjana Karanović, one of the most appreciated on the Eastern European scene.
