The Lero Student Theatre marks another year as part of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival programme, this summer with the Davor Mojaš play Mostly Sunny in Lazareti on Monday, 14 August and Tuesday, 15 August at 9.30 p.m.

With the play Mostly Sunny, the Lero Student Theatre continues, in line with its characteristic stage poetics and directing style of Davor Mojaš, to stage current reflections of the fraught everyday life of sombre tones and warning winds that colour this Dubrovnik year, and not only Dubrovnik’s. Sequences of stage images and scenes, audio and video inserts, and fragments of dramatic texts by Beckett, Witkiewicz, Ionesco, Kosor and Mojaš, build the atmosphere of the performance, which, with an ironic hint, could also be recognized as Mostly Sunny. Diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy – all at the same time.

In addition to director Davor Mojaš, the creative team consists of set designer Mato Brnjić, costume designer Dubravka Lošić, music composer Petar Obradović, lighting designer Antonio Ljubojević, Croatian sign language associate Maja Belin, video author Rela Petric and producer Ksenija Medović, while the cast are Jasna Held, Ksenija Medović, Zvončica Šimić, Barbara Damić, Rela Petric and Dubravka Mrvelj.

Dubrovnik-born Davor Mojaš is as a theatre director almost entirely tied to the Lero Student Theatre where he directed some sixty plays, twenty original projects, and dozens of stage programmes since 1975, putting up works of great artists such as Chekov, Brecht, Beckett, Ionesco and many others, as well as his own original works since 1990. Mojaš had his plays performed regularly at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival and at other esteemed national and international culture festivals. He is also a prolific author, having published a collection of poems, several plays, memoirs, books of prose, a graphic-literary map, and edited a monograph of the Lero Student Theatre, published numerous literary, essay and non-fiction texts as well as feuilletons in Croatian magazines as well as prose and drama for the Croatian Radio. For 33 years, he was a journalist and editor for the Croatian Radio in Dubrovnik. In 2017, he received the City of Dubrovnik Award for his work.
