Last night I was lucky enough to watch Ekvinocijo (Equinox), a play which is on for 5 days as part of Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
I originally bought a ticket (and a holiday in Dubrovnik) as it was a rare chance to see Goran Višnjić in theatre and I was not disappointed. He gave a strong, energetic performance which was top-notch, along with an equally brilliant and moving performance by his co-star, Zrinka Cvitešić.
The play was performed in the Croatian language, luckily I've been learning it for a while and so, while it definitely didn't all make sense (I completely missed one major plot point and thought someone was dead when they weren't) I still had a good idea what was happening and followed the storyline pretty well!
The acting from all cast members was fab, costumes, sound, the set and the staging were all very effective. It was performed outside in Dubrovnik's old port which worked so well for the storyline.
If you ever get the chance to see Goran act in theatre then go for it, it's always great to see your favourite actor on stage just a few feet away and feel the different energy a live performance enjoys. Goran did great (he plays a villain so well!)
I love the idea and energy of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival too, I will have to keep an eye on future events if I manage to be here in the summer again.
