Staged on the southern rocks of the Island, the play Equinox is a highlight of Dubrovnik’s site-specific theatre.
In his Equinox, following a recognisable and often employed plot, Vojnović bings the main character, Ivo, who is in love with Anica, the daughter of a sea captain Frano Dražić, to the stage: a small port in the vicinity of Dubrovnik in the year 186*. The main obstacle for their love is Anica's father, who intends to marry his daughter for a rich man who has just returned from America, Niko Martinović. Ivo's Mother, Jele, has a secret. Niko Martinović is her only love and Ivo's father, who abandoned her a long time ago. She is determined to ask him to "give her back her honour" and "give the name" to his illegitimate son. However, she soon gives up her determination, as well as the shadows of the past. She helps the young couple to trick both Anica's greedy father and the undestined “old bridegroom”, Ivo's father. Yet, the Equinox is also a story about the commoners who become tragic characters in the play of symbolic guidelines, in which the turbulences in nature (the equinox storms) coincide with the turbulences in one's soul, with the trivial, everyday things becoming tragically serious and contemporary.
