When this very Sisyphus tells us the ancient myth about himself once again, a comic twist occurs creating a joke that tells us: instead of people being toys in the hands of the gods, the gods themselves become toys in the hands of man.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The play The Joke of Sisyphus &#8211; a fake myth about gods and men &#8211; casually peers into the cracks of the commonplaces of Greek mythology and, in the style of Camus, asks us whether Sisyphus is the greatest trickster among mortals or merely an insolent figure who refuses to die. Is the eternal rolling of a boulder up a hill a just punishment or merely an egoistic god venting his anger? Are Camus&#8217;s metaphors about Sisyphus as a worker or about Sisyphus as Don Juan still exclusive, or can we also view Sisyphus, now as a joke-hero, as a macho-capitalist or a kitsch-lover?   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one-sidedness of the ancient myth, which defends the gods-men, diminishes the goddesses-women, and makes mortals-people meaningless heroes, and the many layers of Camus&#8217;s text revealed to us that there is still some meaning hidden in Sisyphus&#8217; work, and that, besides imagining Sisyphus happy, we can also imagine him being sad. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;5px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">playwright and director:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ivan Planini\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">playwright and dramaturge:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ivana Vukovi\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actor:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karlo Mrk\u0161a <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voices:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jadranka \u0110oki\u0107, Domagoj Jankovi\u0107, Iva Kraljevi\u0107, Nik\u0161a Marinovi\u0107, Bernard Tomi\u0107, Pa\u0161ko Vukasovi\u0107<\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">producer:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Romana Braj\u0161a <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sound designer:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luka Gamulin <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video projections by:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miro Manojlovi\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">music:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karlo Mrk\u0161a and Filip Triplat <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">costume designer:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Petra Pavi\u010di\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">associate for stage movement:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andreja Jandri\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">light designer:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alen Marin <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">production assistants:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hana Zrn\u010di\u0107 Dim and Laura Pribani\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">design:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verlauf<\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">photographer:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karla Juri\u0107 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">production:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Punctum Art Organization and KunstTeatar <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">premiere:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17 April, 2021 <\/span><\/h5>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">duration:<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">65 minutes<br \/><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;934,935,936,937,938,939,940,941,942,943,944,945,946,947,948,949,950,951,952,953&#8243; posts_number=&#8221;20&#8243; show_title_and_caption=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus leaves us with the thesis that Sisyphus denies the gods and that his world is a world without a master.
