The 16th Days of Theater in Vitez, B&H began: standing ovations at the premiere of the play "Koko at School" by GKM Vitez
The 16th Days of Theater "Vitez 2024" began with the premiere of the play "Koko at School" of the City Youth Theater Vitez on Sunday evening, September 1.
The audience once again filled the theater hall in Vitez, and all visitors, especially the youngest ones, truly enjoyed the school adventure of Koko the clown. "Koko at School" is an interactive clown game for children, which follows the clown Koko Umbrella in his adventure on the first day of school. Koko the clown explores the cheerful aspects of student life through various obstacles, which he more or less successfully solves with his clownish manner.
"We opened another theater day in Vitez in the most beautiful way possible. Our Sunčica shined for the umpteenth time on the boards that mean life, and I congratulate her on this as well. I am overjoyed that we got another play that will be played a lot, to the joy and satisfaction of the audience wherever it appears. Thank you to the audience for the exceptional visit, but also to our patrons, without whom we would not be able to make such a meaningful theater festival. Finally, I especially want to greet all the participants of this year's theater days in Vitez with the message that we are looking forward to them," said Ivan Sajević, head of GKM Vitez.
Clown Koko was brilliantly embodied by Sunčica Strukar, a graduated actress and member of GKM Vitez, whom the audience brought back to the stage several times after the performance with applause and cheers. A large number of the audience, especially the youngest, took the opportunity to send congratulations, but also to take a picture with Koko Suncobrana, who has already become a favorite character of the children at the premiere performance.
Sunčica Strukar plays in the play, who also signs the direction. The executive producer of the play is Ivan Sajević, and Franko Bralo is in charge of the technique. Graphic design is signed by Damir Šakalo.
The performance "Koko at School" is an excellent prelude to the beginning of theater days in Vitez, but also the beginning of the new school year. Minister Bojan Domić, who attended the performance, also sent his congratulations to all who are starting the new school year today, especially first-year students. Also, Minister Domić took the opportunity to congratulate the theater actors from Vitez for their great work and the many successes they are achieving.
The organizers of the 16th Theater Day "Vitez 2024" are the City Youth Theater Vitez and the "Enter" Youth Association, and the audience will have the opportunity to see a total of 16 performances. The patrons of this year's theater days in Vitez are the Ministry of Education, Science, Youth, Culture and Sports KSB and the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports.
