On the last competition night of the 22nd International Comedy Festival "Mostarska liska" in a crowded hall of the National Theater in Mostar, the play "Tere and Luce" by S. Evans-M. Torjanac, directed by Marko Torjanac, produced by Planet Art Theatre.
The expert jury awarded the excellent acting of actresses Anja Šovagović – Despot and Nataša Janjić – Medančić with two Little Liske awards for the best actress of the evening. "Of course, I have acted many times in Mostar and at the National Theatre and the Croatian National Theatre and Kosača, but I think this is my first time at the "Mostarska liska" festival and I am overjoyed. We were both very happy to receive the award. The jury includes Admir Glamočak, my wonderful colleague from my long-ago student days, so I am especially pleased and overjoyed that he is the president of the jury. As for the atmosphere, it was phenomenal, truly wonderful.
Wonderful reactions, laughter, beautiful silence in places that required a little dramatic reflection, so to speak. We felt great on stage and I have the feeling that the play "flew" by in 5 minutes," emphasized Šovagović - Despot.
Actress Nataša Janjić – Medančić expressed her satisfaction with the great interest in the play as well as with the award she won.
"I was really surprised by this large attendance. When I hear that every evening it is so, I am extremely glad that the festival lives in this way, that it attracts an audience and that the audience comes for the performances. The fact that it was sold out is really wonderful and incredible to me, today at a time when the theater is waging a serious battle with the audience and trying to attract it, which means that this is a quality that exists as a constant at the festival and that people come to see a good selection of performances. As for Mala liska, I was pleasantly surprised by this award tonight. It is nice to immediately receive the fruits of your work after a performance, in addition to applause, and we really witnessed a long, big, heartfelt applause," Janjić - Medančić emphasized.
