Teatar Farmakopea is a classroom theatre of the Pharmaceutical-Physiotherapeutic School set up by teachers encouraged by EU DICE project in order to use it when covering some of the prescribed reading in correlation with scientific subjects. The production meant a process on the occasion of the 450 th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth. It is based on a combination of parts from Romeo and Juliet and the book Venomous Shakespeare - Shakespeare's Venom by Simon Đarmati. It helps to cover professionally, by a comprehensive method, the topics envisaged by the curriculum. The production is a representative model of the approach to literature and mandatory reading in correlation with scientific topics in chemistry and pharmacognosy. The production reflects the receptions of Shakespeare’s message, What were Romeo and Juliet poisoned with? Is hatred the most powerful poison giving rise to doses of other poisons? What dose of knowledge a man needs to remain faithful to himself and his profession? By insisting on venoms Shakespeare in fact speaks about counter-venoms and writes a story with a happy ending. The performance will be followed by a meeting and exchange of experience between the participants of Shakespeare in the Park and members of Teatar Farmakopea. Moderator; Nataša Milovič, Shakespeare’s Children Project

26 ND SEPTEMBER, 17.00 Centre for Cultural Decontamination Compagnie Arti-Zanat, France/ Serbia ★ ENKIDU/GILGAMESH Evolutive production Duration: 120’ (including discussion with authors) Directed by Richard Grolleau Music: Seb El Zin Performers: Damjan Diklić, Richard Grolleau and Seb El Zin The production explores the concept of participative theatre in constant evolution, an open form which for every performance involves a different group of non-professional actors. The result is a joint production emerged from the meeting with a new group of participants. Meeting is a crucial issue in the project both in the form and in the interpretation of the epic about Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh, the grandson of Uruk is a half-god half-man. At the start of the epic Gilgamesh feels omnipotent and

and uses his power to satisfy all his instincts. He meets Enkidu (half-man half-best), recognises him as his equal and gradually cognises his humanity and after Enkidu’s untimely death becomes aware of his mortality. After two sessions of work in France with the participation of primary school pupils, and then elderly persons, Enkidu/ Gilgamesh will be shown in Belgrade in cooperation with an inter-generational group - Belgrade’s secondary school pupils and members of the club for the elderly. The workshops before the performance and the production includes participants in the projects,of POD Theatre: members of Čukarica and Stari Grad II daily care centres and clubs for the elderly, pupils of the 13 th and the 15 th Secondary Schools in Belgrade and the Pharmaceutical-Physiotherapeutic School. Supported by the French Institute in Serbia, the European Cultural Foundation, the Centre for Cultural Decontamination and Živimo zajedno Association.
