Summary
Božidar Violić: Apology
After the important book Faces and Shadows for the theater, these auto-analyses of his own directing structured in the form of conversations and inter-conversations in which he analyzes his own attitudes from a distance of time, which in its second edition in 2004 he supplements with ten written portraits of the actor, Violić surprises with a new book. In fact, essays and memories is a well-hit subtitle that describes the dynamic heterogeneity of this book, which is both memoir in nature, personal and open. Violić's autobiography is also (already) a history of the poetics of a theatrical period marked by Gavella and his directing students. Analyzing his experiences as a director, and in the essays of this book, on the one hand, he deals with the analysis of the dramatic text, and on the other, with the theatrical and political context that dominates in the nineties and significantly determines and evaluates his poetics as a director.
