Summary

Josip Kosor: In the Café du Dôme / Rotonda

Montparnasse at the beginning and end of the First World War is the intersection of the global bohemian world and the overall human Babylon. Especially the two famous cafes, Café du Dôme & Rotonda. For French traditionalists - a hotbed of immorality, and for foreigners - a region of bohemian liberation from rigid everyday life. The chaos of war, refugees and fugitives, the struggle for survival, the delirious atmosphere of two cult bohemian cafes and the metropolitan environment are the realistic framework in which Josip Kosor (1879 - 1961) places the protagonists of his two plays. Outside of this realistic framework, Josip Kosor stages a grotesque spectacle-a struggle between idealism and materialism, between spirit and beauty (embodied in poor bohemian artists) and money, raw capitalism (embodied in the upcoming, infinitely rich and arrogant Americans). Unforgettably portraying the time of the play's creation, Josip Kosor at the same time terrifyingly anticipates the contemporary European-transitional political reality, wild neo-capitalism, globalization and its political-sociological, ecological, demographic-economic and other deviations, European fear of American economic, political, military and cultural expansion. Editor Luko Paljetak accompanied these two forgotten, unperformed and little-known plays by Josip Kosor with an extensive and valuable study, which will finally return them to readers and, we believe, to our stages. Back in Paris, Sergije Glumac created a complete scenography and costume design for the Rotunda published in the book Avant-garde theater of Sergije Glumac.
