A stone for under the head

PILLOW FOR THE HEAD

The author Milica Novković, through the drama PILLOW FOR THE HEAD, explores the essential human and dramatic questions in a rural setting. The characters of the drama are faced with a world that has lost touch with God, where traditional morals and ways of life are declining in importance, and new foundations have yet to be found.

At the heart of the story is the human aspect of their lives, which becomes the cause of changes on a wider scale, aimed at searching for identity and values. The time of gathering in family cooperatives is over, and the central hero wants to divide and sell the land as the fruit of his labor and care. However, conflicts have already arisen among the ancestors, misunderstandings between their desires and reality.

Although traditional morality is still maintained, it has lost its strength. The misalignment of individual and family interests reflects the conflict between the natural aspirations of the characters and the moral norms of society. The high cost of this discord is the key theme of the drama, which raises questions of "how" and "why" to live, work, and create.
