Life

The Bosnian- born theater director Oliver Frljić has been staging on international stages since he was a student at the Academy for Scenic Arts in Zagreb . His provocative theater works were represented at various theater festivals, including the Wiener Festwochen , the Heidelberger Stückemarkt , the MESS in Sarajevo , the theater biennial “New Plays from Europe” Wiesbaden , the BITEF Festival in Belgrade and the renowned Sterijino pozorje in Novi Sad . From 2014 to 2016 Oliver Frljić was the director of the National Theater in Rijeka . In the spring of 2016, Oliver Frljić announced his resignation in protest against Croatian cultural policy and in response to political reactions to his directorship.

Oliver Frljić's stage work is dedicated to contemporary issues and sees itself as a decidedly political theater that does a service to society. While the successful pieces Turbofolk (2008), Preklet naj bo izdajalec svoje domovine (2010), Kukavičluk (2010), Zoran Dindić (2012), Aleksandra Zec (2014) addressed explosive issues from the post-Yugoslav region, Frljić's theatrical criticism has been turning ever since Balkan Makes Free (2015) increasingly against Western European societies. The staging of your violence, our violence , which premiered at the Vienna Festival in 2016, caused a small theater scandal.

The autobiographical theater project Mrzim istinu! / I hate the truth! is one of the most outstanding and award-winning works of Oliver Frljić to date.

Services

Between 2007 and 2015, Oliver Frljić has received over 20 theater awards so far, including the award for the best director at the Sterijino pozorje in Novi Sad (2011).
