28™ SEP TEMBER, 17.00 & 20.30 Belgrade Youth Centre, Americana Hall ZID Theatre, Amsterdam, Netherlands ★ FROM THE ROOFTOPS OF THE WORLD ON TOUR Community theatre Duration: 120' (including discussion with authors) Second showing at 20:30 Concept and direction: Karolina Spaić Text; Ane Hogvind. Music: Mark Baroner. Company: Sebo Baker, Anika Ferflet, Dido Mirk, Ista Bagus Putranto. Actors from the local community: Gokan Aksoj, Mahmud Ibrahim, Nanda Jagdev, Marikę Lukas, Lara Baker, Emanuel Lukas, Febi Brak Photography; Maria Morales, Malwina Kovalska and Roberto Rizzo ZID Theatre brings together arts, culture and the society by promoting the creative talents of people as the driving engine of positive changes. This is the latest production of this community theatre. This brilliant, enchanting, dynamic production draws inspiration from the much-lauded production of The Roman Tragedy by Toneelgroep in Amsterdam, the leading theatre company with which ZID cooperates. From the Rooftops of the World is based on three Shakespeare’s tragedies: Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. Artists of ZID Theatre and actors from the community examined the influence of politics on the everyday life of the local population in several Amsterdam communities where quite unexpected and universal events take place... In the course of a year of meetings, rehearsals and interviews in different parts of the city the artistic team collected stories of

the local population and turned them into a multidisciplinary performance complete with music, singing, poetry and video messages of people across the world. ZID has now developed the model of the project 'On tour’. In it ZID combines this method in cooperation with local artists and the community. This means that for every place a new, authentic version of the production is created, consisting in existing elements and fresh local material. This is an additional opportunity for ZID to expand its method and present this unusual form of community theatre to different parts of the world. The director Karolina Spaić points out that From the Rooftops of the World represents present-day Holland and its citizens. People of different origin, religion, views and dreams live together in a small country. Many of them live in multiple realities: they lead their daily lives but they are also affected by their lives in the countries they have left behind or to which they want to move. What brings us together? And even more importantly: do we have a say anywhere except in our living room? Members of POD Theatre from Belgrade will join the performance of ZID Theatre as a part of the company and local performers. The tour is supported by Performing Arts Fund in the Netherlands.
