Serbian Rehearsal

Finally, we arrived well in Zagreb, with a delay at the border of only about two hours, which is extremely quick compared to the other borders, where we usually spent five or even more hours. You may ask why it might take such a long time to check a train crossing the border. Well, the reason is pretty simple: All the theatre equipment has to be checked by the customs and this takes time.

What is more, nobody seems to be in a hurry. However, the traincrew and all members of the orientexpress never lost their temper, everybody's (mostly) in a good mood, but perhaps a bit tired. Actually, today we got up at four a'clock, as the train left Novi Sad at five. The reason for that nobody really knows, perhaps there's a rule that special trains get special schedule.

Today's weblog film isn't up-to-date at all, but we still had some nice material of the rehearsal of the serbian play "As if" which we filmed at the small stage of Novi Sad state theatre. We're fascinated by the simple but very precise play, the strong actors and the nice stage design.
