The true values have been lost, there are
very few of those who truly love, and even fewer are those who truly
believe
It is obviously possible to stage Decameron in numerous ways
nevertheless it is interesting to mention that very rarely it has been
staged in Croatian theatre. However, since Goran Golovko, a director,
possesses both invention and audacity we finally have the possibility to
see his adaptation and direction of Decameron with the respectable cast
including twenty names, most of them acting in various roles…
For those of you who would like to know which line the director has
taken, here are some of Golovko’s notes: “Plague. Metaphysical
inevitability in its phenomena plants the idea of ephemerality of life
into a human conscience, setting people free from the sense of
responsibility since there is no guilt. Bad
times and bad luck are just excuses for living a life oriented to
momentary satisfaction of instincts and at the same time they are very
good grounds for any kind of demagogy. The true values have been lost,
spiritual gives way to carnal and material, there are very few of those
who truly love, and even fewer
are those who truly believe. On the other hand – life – great in its
fussiness, persistently goes on. It survives, pulsates and testifies
indestructibility hoping that there is a universal sense and order. This
hope is fragile but it remains anyway.”
