International coproduction The Lexicon of Mythology of the Former Yugoslavia, directed by renowned Oliver Frljić, last Friday, 9^th of December 2011, in National theatre of Kosovo in Pristina, successfully concluded the tour around former Yugoslavia countries. Controversial and attractive performance, created on a parallel history of critics and gossip, aroused much attention and interest in the former Yugoslav space.

The performance attracted more than 2000 viewers at the premieres and reruns on its ten days tour in Croatia, Montenegro and Kosovo at its co-producers in INK Pula, CNP Podgorica and Teatri Kombetar i Kosoves, Pristina.

Next year the performance The Lexicon of Mythology of the Former Yugoslavia continues with its tour as it will be hosted by Macedonia in February and later on in Austria, Serbia, Germany and Russia.

Artists and producers from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia are cooperating in the performance, which was coproduced by international network NETA (New European Theatre Action).

Last year's co-production performance "RED", directed by Martin Kočovski, is hosted by this year's edition of the JoakimInterFest under Knjaževsko-srpski Theatre, from the City of Kragujevac, Serbia.

Staging, created on the motifs of Orhan Pamuk's novel "My name is red", the last year impressed audiences with their innovative and theatrical approach to the current topic of combining different cultures in the European area.

The performance's premiere was at last year's 17th EX PONTU festival, who is also one of the co-producers.

Like every year the audience has voted for individual performances and here are the results.

The highest vote has been awarded to the Macedonian performance The Caucasian Chalk Circle (4.6), directed by Martin Kočovski, in production of the National Theatre Vojdan Černodrinski, Prilep.

Followed by Generation 91 – 95 (4.3) directed by Borut Šeparović and produced by Zagreb Youth Theatre from Croatia.

The third place has been split between the international coproduction of NETA network, The Lexicon of the Mythology of Former Yugoslavia (4.1), directed by Oliver Frljić.

And a Polish performance A Piece on Mother and the Fatherland (4.1), directed by Jan Klata, in production of Polski Theatre in Wroclaw.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all Festival supporters and partners, media sponsors and media and of course our numerous and loyal audience.
