DUŠKO ANĐIĆ OR POLITICAL JEDILIŠTE AS A CRUEL REFLECTION OF BOSNIAN DESTINY
Anđić belongs to that group of playwrights who are trying to preserve the tradition of literary continuity and to topicalize modern political pragma-tism (totalitarian rule and the general political character of life).Unlike previous romantic historical dramas, built on the contrast of these two historical figures (Omer-pasha Latas and Ivan Franjo Jukić), Anđić establishes a similar contrast, but his deconstruction of the hero is adapted to modern theatre, so he displays them as irrefutable evidence that the basic problem pressing them both is the totalitarian rule. The idealistic enthusiasm of young Jukić is shattered and he becomes aware that nobody is free to decide, that everything is predetermined, and that we are all merely puppets in political games. This historical drama text is at the same time the most profound comment about a man who is forced to live as a political animal, realizing that everyone is at a loss in this dirty game of existence.
