Abstract

Myths evolve continuously and they are influenced by transfer; in this way they cross the boundary between ages, geocultural areas, and art genres. This dynamic system of symbols, archetypes, images, and schemes has been integrated by culture and stimulates the artistic activity of the 21st century. This also happens when it comes to the playwrights and stage producers of the post-Yugoslav countries. One should point to the extraordinary transformations of myths by Ivana Sajko (Croatia), Ljubomir Ðurković (Montenegro), and Jeton Neziraj (Kosovo). As a result of such strategies as e.g. prefiguration, transposition, and reinterpretation, ancient and modern contents overlap and create new quality. The theatrical plays which are based on such texts are other examples of transfer and transformation depending on the performative circumstances of the exposition. Moreover, these productions are transcultural and transgressive.
