World Game Day: Where is my truth

On Tuesday, April 29, World Game Day will be celebrated.

It has been celebrated since 1982, and the ban is April 29, the date of birth of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), the founder of the modern game.

A planetary celebration of a unique artistic discipline, based on the universality of a language that transcends all political, cultural and ethnic boundaries, offering the possibility of uniting people around a common and unique experience - the game! Every year, a famous choreographer or dancer sends a message that goes around the world. The message is translated into all languages ​​of the world.

This year, Mihail Baryshnikov was chosen as the author of the letter. This is his message:

"It is often said that play can express the unspeakable. Joy, sadness and despair become visible; embodied expressions of our common fragility. That play can awaken empathy, inspire kindness, encourage the desire to heal rather than hurt... Especially at a time when hundreds of thousands of people suffer uncertainty and the consequences of wars, witness political upheavals or protest injustice - the sincerity of our thoughts becomes vital. It is a heavy duty and burden for the body, for the game and art. Still, art is the best way to give shape to the unspoken, and ask the questions: Where is my truth? How do I honor myself and my community?"

From the Serbian National Theater in Novi Sad, they announce that on the occasion of World Dance Day, they will perform one of the most famous ballets of all time - "Swan Lake", choreographed by Vladimir Logunov.

At the National Theater in Belgrade, they are announcing a gala concert "Celebrating the game, celebrating art", where they will show parts of the most famous works of the rich ballet repertoire of the Ballet.
