Premiere of the theater play „RACIN“According to Kocho Racin

National theatre “J. H. K. Dzinot” Veles

The theatre play “Racin” does not aim to present facts as they appear historically, and history has coded them, it aims to colour the fact with the spot light of authenticity, cast light over the mythologised Racin, deconstruct, demystify and answer the question “What is Racin to us today?” The play is more a reflection than narration, it is more a fragment than a whole, more an antithesis than a thesis- Racin today, going to every possible tomorrow.
