The dramatic program of the 76th Dubrovnik Summer Festival is exceptionally rich and varied, and will bring the festival audience, in addition to exciting guest appearances and favorite reruns, the continuation of the reflection and development of dynamic co-production and ambient concepts, as well as major premieres. This summer, the first drama premiere will be a co-production of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the Marin Držić Theatre and the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb – Goldoni's iconic Le Baruffe Chiozzotte in the translation and adaptation of Morana Čale into the Dubrovnik dialect, which will be staged by director Krešimir Dolenčić at one of the festival locations. At the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, Le Baruffe Chiozzotte has already premiered in the Old City Port. Although the plot is set in a precise historical context, the focus is on the everyday lives and love relationships of fishermen and their wives, filled with jealousy, gossip and arguments. Goldoni faithfully depicts the mentality and passions of ordinary people through witty dialogues and temperamental arguments.
