ZLOGRBA/EVIL HUNCHBACK, Gradsko kazalište Zorin dom (Hrvatska)

Crpeći inspiraciju iz svoje okoline, Ria Trdin napisala je svojoj kćeri poučnu bajku slikovitog imena Zlogrba. Kada je odrasla, kći je otpuhnula prašinu sa svoje stare bajke i odlučila je podijeliti s drugom djecom. Vrline o kojima bajka progovara nisu, niti će ikada izblijediti. I zato…

Došao je i taj dan, za Zlogrbu tako poseban. Dan kada krvav mjesec sja, a vještica može postati mlada i zanosna. Samo napitak treba spraviti i dijete u njega staviti. Misleći da je dijete skuhati lako, Zlogrba se zeznula opako. Djevojčica Lovorka svojim veseljem i dobrotom promijenila je vješticu ispunjenu grozotom.

Zlogrbino srce, zaboravljeno na ormaru, odjednom je počelo pričati priču staru: Zlogrba vještica posta, jer joj je ljubavne boli bilo dosta, pa je svoje srce iščupati dala i sve oko sebe mrziti stala.

Lovorka je znala što učini treba – iskreno voljeti, odavde pa sve do neba. I tako Zlogrba dobra baka posta i sad joj ljubavi nikad dosta. Zlogrba od tog dana samo ljubavlju vraća, jer je naučila da je od čarolije jača.

Predstava je nastala u suradnji Gradskog kazališta Zorin dom, Kazališta Virovitica i Akademije za umjetnost i kulturu u Osijeku, a potekla je iz završnog ispita Lovorke Trdin ak. god. 2016./2017. pod mentorstvom Tamare Kučinović i Maje Lučić.

Drawing inspiration from the world around her, Ria Trdin wrote an educative fairy tale for her daughter, suggestively naming it “Zlogrba” (“Evil Hunchback” would be an approximate English translation). When she grew up, her daughter decided to dust off her old fairy tale and share it with other children.

The virtues discussed in the fairy tale are still very much relevant, and will always be. And so…

The very special day Zlogrba was waiting for finally came. The day when the blood moon rose, and the old witch had a chance to become young and beautiful again. All she needed to do was prepare a potion, and pop a child inside. Zlogrba thought that cooking a child would be easy, but she was greatly mistaken. A little girl called Lovorka touched the witch’s heart with her joy and kindness.

Zlogrba’s heart, sitting long forgotten up on the closet, suddenly sprang to life and started telling its tale: unhappy in love, Zlogrba decided to become a witch. She had her heart torn out, and became hateful and mean to everyone. But Lovorka knew how to cure her: with boundless pure love. Zlogrba was transformed into a kindly granny who now can’t get enough of love.

From this day on, she only has love to give, having learned that love beats magic every time.

The play was created in collaboration with the Zorin dom City Theatre, the Virovitica Theatre and the Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek, and originated from Lovorka Trdin’s final exam project in the 2016/2017 academic year, under the mentorship of Tamara Kučinović and Maja Lučić.
