Set in the exclusive Pinecone Theatre—a three-story house from the early 20th century, meticulously redesigned for this occasion—each performance invites an intimate audience of just 22 spectators to step into a dreamlike world.
Moving freely through the space, visitors become part of a narrative that dissolves the boundary between stage and audience. Developed over more than a year through an in depth exploration, Lucidity Triptych introduces a bold new approach to theater in Belgrade.
About the Performance Inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy and Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes, this theatrical experience leads the audience to the collision point of order and chaos, reality and dreams, performance and observation. The story follows Wilhelm, a writer approaching his forties, who, over the course of a single night and three dreams, confronts unresolved conflicts from his past and deep-seated family traumas that hinder his search for personal and creative freedom. Each spectator constructs their own sensory and emotional journey, shaping a unique perspective on the unfolding narrative.
The three dreams reveal different facets of the writer’s personal transformation, unfolding
simultaneously, making it physically impossible to witness the entire performance in one viewing.
Audience members can choose to follow the dreamer throughout, shadow one of the dream characters, or shift between multiple perspectives. The first dream, Separation, explores the fragile boundary between passion and responsibility through the story of a young couple caught in the whirlwind of creative ambition and emotional dependence. The second dream, Shadows, delves into the weight of inherited family conflicts and the dark forces of the unconscious through a turbulent and painful story between a father and son. The third dream, Consequences, exposes the cost of ambition and the longing for recognition, as characters stumble over their own desires, pushing their ideals to the breaking point. Before the performance begins, each audience member receives guidance on how to navigate the
narrative.
Lucidity Triptych – A Fusion of Drama and Music Theater
Lucidity Triptych blends elements of drama and musical theater, creating a multi-sensory experience that immerses the audience on every level. With a combination of composed music and instrumental improvisation, opera singers Nevena Đoković and Nevena Matić perform selections from Rusalka, Carmen, and The Tales of Hoffmann, adapted and arranged to seamlessly integrate into the narrative.
The immersive format allows for heightened sensory engagement, as spectators can interact with the set and props, engage with characters, perceive different scents, and enjoy cocktails inspired by the show’s protagonists. These signature cocktails, served during the performance, will be available at the Pinecone Bar on the ground floor, further enriching the unique atmosphere of the event.
