Stories from the ferry

Stories from the ferry

Based on the original concept by director Anica Tomić, in collaboration with dramaturge Jelena Kovačić and writer Ivor Martinić, Stories from the Ferry is a site-specific performance on the Jadrolinija ferry "Oliver".

The play Stories from the Ferry brings together the intimate stories of all our fathers, mothers, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and even ourselves who have met on the decks of ferries while traveling to or returning from the islands. Jadrolinija thus becomes the lifeline that connects us and our islands and people, their memories, hopes, and all realized and unrealized dreams.

For the first time, we tell the stories of those people for whom Jadrolinija exists—all those known and unknown people, the accidental travelers who have woven their lives into the decks of Jadrolinija's ferries. How do we tell the untold stories? Who are all these heroes and heroines? Who are all these ordinary people whose lives have been profoundly marked by Jadrolinija, and because of this, they reached their destinations? Jadrolinija's ferries thus became an intimate stage for many important events.

Based on the stories that arrived following the call from the Croatian National Theatre Split, providing a unique treasury of diverse temporal and spatial contexts, this play is both a theatrical response to people's memories and an intimate tribute to our recollections.
