Fafarikul

The sources for the proposed performance Fafarikul are two books by writer and translator Đurđica Čilić: Fafarikul and The New End. These books mix anecdotes, memories, and the ends and beginnings of life. Fafarikul is a collection of a hundred stories, anecdotes, memories, errors, fears, defects, joys, and detours that lead to the right path, details that seem unimportant but are permanently and significantly engraved in our memory. It’s a collection of childhood memories, growing up, and the moment we live in, of small deaths and great joys - about everything present in one life that we recognize as unrelated or connected to a geographical place. The New End is a novel of a fragmented composition that can also be interpreted as a collection of stories. It can also be considered as a continuation of Fafarikul, in which one of the many narrative lines that dominates is the relationship between the mother and the narrator. The author, in a simple, warm, almost melancholy manner, evokes the relationship with her mother, from the awareness of her illness until the inevitable end, and by writing down her story, she cathartically comes to terms with the end because her mother continues to live in the stories. The author successfully builds a significant story based on small, incidental life details.
