Eternal House (Vecnata kuka)

National Theatre, Skopje, Macedonia

Director: Projkovski Dejan

3 hours with 1 breaks.

The Eternal House, premiered at the Macedonian National Theatre opening ceremony, worships life and art, reminding us that history is only one fragment.

Nothing is the same in a house that has witnessed events throughout centuries, a house of interwoven destinies, different worlds and events, a house with rooms full of stories. Whose house is this? The one that stands as a mute witness and through which grumbled many nations and historical upheavals, happy and sad moments, happy and sad events; the one that is full of spirits, and in which individual memory collides with the collective one. Can anyone say with certainty that this is his piece of land, a piece that carries so many memories?

He is also President of the World Theatre Network InterACT whose members are theatres and festivals from more than 20 countries.

His career in the theatre has been constantly developing over the past thirteen years. He proves himself indefatigably energetic, effective, inquisitive and exceptionally busy director because of the fact that he annually directs three or four theatrical productions. He’s been working as a director not only in Macedonia, but also in Bulgaria, the Russian Federation and Croatia. For his outstanding artistic achievements, he has received many expert acknowledgements and awards. In recognition of his work and his productions, the biggest national theatre festival “Vojdan Chernodrinski” has awarded him Grand Prix four times so far. Among his significant theatre directing projects are: “Dangerous Liaisons”, “The Karamazov Brothers”, “Hamlet”, “Danton’s Death”, “Darkness”, “Runaway”, The King Dies”, “Seagull”, “Tartuffe”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “Jonadab”, “The Fall of Innocence”… His theatrical productions participated in numerous festivals in Italy, Germany, Turkey, France, England, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, Slovenia, and Russia.

Apart from theatrical productions, he has also directed extensive multimedia projects and events, such as great historical anniversaries in our country, public holidays and celebrations, festival opening ceremonies (Ohrid Summer Festival, Struga Poetry Evenings).

Last year he received the “13th November” Award – the City of Skopje Award for outstanding artistic achievement.
