The International FORUM ON THE JUSTIFICATION OF CREATIVITY will be held at the National Theater in Belgrade, on the famous small stage “Raša Plaović”, on November 15 and 16, 2022 at 7 p.m., organized by the Institute (Zaprokul), the National Theater and the Serbian philosophical forum, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia.
This year FORUM will be dedicated to the theme “Entropy and creativity”, their eternal and mutual struggle. According to the words of probably the most significant contemporary Serbian philosopher, Nikola Kajtez, there is always a great conflict between creation and destruction, between construction and destruction, in the human being. From this continuous struggle arises the great question of whether man is a creator or a destroyer. Facing this question is facing oneself and the whole of existence.
The FORUM will be held in the format of a live and active discussion on stage between participants led by an omniscient moderator live behind the scenes.
In addition to the discussion, the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy the performances of Marko Stojanović, our most famous pantomime artist, and spectacular dancers who will perform a specially designed point for FORUM with UV lights.
