Over the past ten days, Tatjana Mandic Rigonat director National Theatre in Belgrade, she received two awards at festivals abroad.
The National Theater did not record these successes of its director.
A search of the News section on their website shows that there is no information about Tatjana Mandić Rigonat's previous awards either. Let's say, there is no news that she became the first winner in September 2024 award named after Jagoš Marković, who is one of the greatest directors in the history of the National Theatre.
The National Theater should not have any reason not to boast about the achievements of its members. It is to be believed that there is some acceptable reason for this omission.

Two days ago, on June 12, a performance Fear and hope Macedonian National Theater from Skopje, directed by Tatjana Mandić Rigonat, won the Grand Prix for the overall artistic achievement at the 60th Macedonian Theater Festival "Vojdan Černodrinski" in Prilep.

A performance Fear and hope, performed in the competition program on June 10, is based on the motifs of the work of the German playwright Franz Xaver Kretz. It deals with the themes of fear, social pressures and the search for dignity and hope in the modern world.
In the explanation of the jury, it is written that in the adaptation and direction of Tatjana Mandić Rigonat, the play gets a powerful stage expression that confronts the audience with questions of loneliness, powerlessness and everyday resistance.
