Dramatic portrait of Serbian transition (perception of economic and social transition after the year 2000 in the plays of Serbian playwrights)

In this paper, the author presents a portrait of the Serbian transition in the dramatic works of Serbian playwrights. The author investigates how the attitude of writers towards the transition and suffering of the 1990s manifests itself in dramatic writing, and how that attitude changed from the 1990s to the end of the first decade of the 21st century. In the 1990s playwrights wrote indirectly, through metaphor, about the consequences of war and transition for the society and individuals, and in the 21st century they used the model of documentary theatre to write about it. In the second part of the work, the author uses the example of several dramas to study the attitude of writers towards the character of the worker – from the lonely and lost individual to the class represented by the chorus of male and female workers.
