Kruševac Theatre will perform the play “Mati” on June 9 at the Bitef Theatre, directed by Marko Torlaković, based on the drama “Kosovo Myth” by Svetlana Slapšak. The play portrays women of medieval Serbia, especially Princess Milica, who through wise diplomacy managed to maintain peace in the region for 13 years. The characters are depicted as flesh-and-blood people with all their flaws and virtues, presenting mythical figures in a realistic light.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the feminist and historical aspects of the play, highlighting the portrayal of medieval Serbian women as strong, diplomatic figures who maintained peace.

Center: Center-leaning sources report the event factually, focusing on the theatrical performance details such as the director, the source material, and the date and venue of the performance. They highlight the cultural importance of the play and its role in preserving Serbian heritage without strong political or ideological framing.
Right: Right-leaning media emphasize the patriotic and nationalistic elements of the play, focusing on the depiction of Princess Milica and the preservation of peace in medieval Serbia as a symbol of national pride. They may highlight the play as a celebration of Serbian history and identity, reinforcing traditional values.
