Online Serbian Play: Two Women and One War

THE SERB NATIONAL FEDERATION IS PROUD TO SPONSOR THE ONLINE SERBIAN PLAY "TWO WOMEN AND ONE WAR" WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES

The Serb National Federation is pleased to recommend you to watch online the outstanding theatre performance Two Women and One War with Serbian actresses Marija Bergam and Vera Mujović in the leading roles. The performance describes the friendship between the Serbian and American people through the love story of two women who are forgotten heroines of the Great War.

One is an American woman, Mabel Grujić, who is married to Serbian diplomat Slavko Grujić. Another is a Serbian woman, Jelena Lozanić, married to the Serbian people's most generous American benefactor, John Frothingham. They both have two homelands: Serbia and the United States.

In this play, you can discover why Mabel Grujić was nicknamed the Serbian Jovanka Orleanka; how many woolen socks for Serbian soldiers at the front were knitted by rich American women from high society; and who adopted 600 children in one day.

Mabel, along with Mihajlo I. Pupin, built homes for Serbian orphans and mobilized American physicians to come to Serbia and help their colleagues.

Jelena Lozanić, Representative of the Yugoslav Red Cross from 1915 to 1920, had a great humanitarian mission to the United States to collect funds for the Serbian Army and people. She met her greatest love, John Frothingham. He donated to Serbia in value almost four Serbian national budgets from 1915.

Jelena Kajgo wrote the text of the play, and the director is Alek Conic.

The performance is with English subtitles.

By buying an online ticket for the play Two Women and One War, you can also watch another famous theatre play for free, Little Black Dress. The performance is about the life of the renowned fashion icon Coco Chanel played by some of the greatest Serbian actresses Rada Djuričin and Vjera Mujović.

You can watch both shows in the next seven days from the day you purchased the ticket.

By purchasing online tickets for this theatre performance, you are fully supporting the House of Jevrem Grujic, Serbian museum of art, history, and diplomacy, in Belgrade, Serbia (Dom Jevrema Grujića | Museum of Serbian History, Art and the Avant-Garde - domjevremagrujica.com) and developing project: “Heroines of Serbian history.”

The ticket price is $16.00.

Thank you for supporting the Serbian art and cultural scene!

ПОД ПОКРОВИТЕЉСТВОМ СРПСКОГ НАРОДНОГ САВЕЗА

ПОГЛЕДАЈТЕ СРПСКУ ПОЗОРИШНУ ПРЕДСТАВУ НА ИНТЕРНЕТУ „ДВЕ ЖЕНЕ И ЈЕДАН РАТ“

Српски народни савез Вам препоручује да погледате онлајн представу Две жене и један рат са Маријом Бергам и Вером Мујовић у главним улогама. Ова позоришна представа говори о пријатељству српског и америчког народа кроз љубавну причу две жене – заборављене хероине Великог рата.

Једна је американка – Мабел Грујић, удата за српског дипломату Славка Грујића, а друга је српкиња – Јелена Лозанић, удата за највећег америчког доброчинитеља српског народа Џона Фротингама. Обе имају две домовине: Србију и Америку.

Откријте зашто су Мабел прозвали српском Јованком Орлеанком, колико вунених чарапа су богате американке из високог друштва исплеле за српске војнике на фронту и ко је усвојио 600 деце у једном дану.

Мабел је заједно са Михајлом Пупином градила домове за напуштену српску сирочад и мобилисала америчке лекаре да дођу у Србију и помагну својим колегама у болницама.

Јелена Лозанић као представница југословенског Црвеног крста, током рата, од 1915. до 1920. године, одлази у велику хуманитарну мисију у Америку где сакупља новац за српску војску и изнемогао народ. Тамо упознаје Џона Фротингама своју највећу љубав. Џон Фротингам је заборављени амерички добротвор који је поклонио Србији у виду донација износ од чак четири државна буџета наше земље из 1915. године.

Представа је рађена по тексту Јелене Кајго и у режији Алека Цонића.

Представа је урађена са енглеским титловима.

Купујући онлајн карте за представу „Две жене и један рат,“ бесплатно можете погледати још једну представу „Мала црна хаљина“ о животу славне Коко Шанел.

Обе представе по цени једне карте нуде задовољство и уживање за целу породицу.

Након куповине карте путем интернета, обе представе можете погледати у наредних седам дана од куповине карте колико важи Ваш линк.

Куповином карте подржавате рад Музеја историје, уметности и дипломатије Дома Јеврема Грујића (www.domjevremagrujica.com) и реализацију пројекта „Великани српске историје.“

Обе музејске представе су посебно прилагођене онлајн формату, како би се бар мало надоместила немогућност гостовања српских уметничких ансамбала широм Америке.

Цена улазнице је 1.500 динара.

Хвала вам што подржавате културну и уметничку сцену Србије!

A conversation with Fr. Stamatis Skliris and Fr. Marko Rupnik on contemporary Christian art

In these timely conversations led by Fr. Radovan Bigovic, many issues are introduced that enable the contemporary reader to deepen and expand his or her understanding of the role of art in the life of the Church. Here we find answers to questions on the crisis of contemporary ecclesiastical art in West and East; the impact of Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract painting on contemporary ecclesiastical painting; and a consideration of the main distrinction between iconography and secular painting. The dialogue, while resolving some doubts about the difference between iconography, religious painting, and painting in general, reconciles the requirement to obey inconographic canons with the freedom essential to artistic creativity, demonstrating that obedience to the canons is not a threat to the vitatlity of iconography. Both artists illumine the role of prayer and ascetisicm in the art of iconography. They also mention curcial differences between iconography in the Orthodox Church and in Roman Catholicism. How important thse distinctions are when exploring the relationship between contemporary theology and art! In a time when postmodern "metaphysics' revitalizes every concept, these masters still believe that, to some extent, Post-Modernism adds to the revitatiztion of Christian art, stimulating questions about "artistic inspiration" and the essential asethetic categories of Christian painting. Their exceptionally wide, yet nonetheless deep, expertise assists their not-so-everday connections between theology, ar, and modern issues concerning society: "society" taken in its broader meaning as "civilization." Finally, the entire artistic project of Stamatis and Rupnik has important ecumenical implications that aswer a genuine longing for unity in the Christian word.

The text of this 94-page soft-bound book has been translated from the Serbian by Ivana Jakovljevic, Fr. Gregory Edwards, and Andrijana Krstic.
