Zijah A. Sokolović: Left Right An Actor on Veliki Brijun

Ljetno kino, Veliki Brijun - Friday, 17.07.2026. 20:00. h

Zijah A. Sokolović performs Left Right An Actor on Veliki Brijun, an authorial piece in which theatre and everyday life continually mirror one another.

Left Right An Actor is part of the Teatar Ulysses programme and takes place in the Summer Open-air Cinema on Veliki Brijun. The boat from Fažana leaves at 20:00, so plan to arrive earlier for boarding, parking and the crossing to the island.

An actor between stage and life

Zijah A. Sokolović builds this piece as a meeting point of performance, lecture, cabaret and direct conversation with the audience. It starts from a simple but theatrically powerful idea: if actors appear in theatre, why should acting not also be recognised in real life, in the public and private roles people play every day? Shakespeare’s theatre as a mirror of reality, Artaud’s reversed image of reality as a mirror of theatre and Krleža’s thought about acting as a self-sufficient art are not decorative references here; they form the frame of Sokolović’s game. His performance does not depend on large scenery, but on acting experience, spoken rhythm, irony and the ability to turn serious questions about identity, habits and social roles into live communication with the audience.

Veliki Brijun and the boat from Fažana

The performance takes place in the Summer Open-air Cinema on Veliki Brijun. The boat from Fažana leaves at 20:00; arrive earlier because parking, boarding and the crossing to Brijuni all come before the theatre evening on the island.

Accommodation in Bale

For Left Right An Actor on Veliki Brijun, the route from Bale first leads to Fažana, about 14 kilometres or roughly 18 minutes by car, and then by boat to Brijuni. Bale is a quiet base for an island theatre evening and a calmer return after the show: accommodation in Bale.
