Mitomanija at Kazalište Trešnja: when Greek myths meet TikTok and AI

If you're looking for a different kind of theatre experience this weekend, Mitomanija at Kazalište Trešnja delivers exactly that—a modern, witty, and musical reinterpretation of Greek mythology that captivates audiences aged 12 and up.

Following a successful premiere, this hit production returns on April 24, 25, and 26, offering a unique blend of theatre, concert, and contemporary performance.

What is Mitomanija?

Mitomanija is a contemporary stage production that transforms ancient myths into a mirror of today’s society.

• Pandora becomes an AI assistant

• Naiads are members of the TikTok generation

• Gods and heroes reflect our fears, ambitions, and insecurities

The creative team led by Marijana Fumić (text) and Dora Ruždjak Podolski (direction) creates a dynamic performance that blurs the line between myth and reality.

A theatre that plays, sings, and breathes as one

One of the show’s standout features is its musical energy. Actors perform live on stage, playing instruments and singing, creating the atmosphere of an intimate musical.

What to expect:

• live band (guitars, drums, saxophone, flute, and more)

• dance and choreography

• a powerful ensemble performance

This is not just theatre—it’s an immersive artistic experience celebrating human creativity.

Aphrodite as a modern icon

A special highlight is the musical number “Aphrodite”, which reimagines the famous goddess as:

• an independent, empowered woman

• digitally present (online & live)

• a symbol of modern identity and freedom

With humor and irony, the song offers a fresh take on mythological relationships, including a witty exchange with Hephaestus.
