The departure of Rade Šerbedžija from his role as King Lear after 26 years marks a significant moment for Croatian theater and culture. His decision to retire from this iconic performance has implications beyond just the Ulysses Theater, as it reflects broader changes in the cultural landscape. The article highlights the contrast between past theatrical traditions, such as the long-running play 'Stilske vježbe' which lasted over 50 years and shaped generations of audiences, and the current trend of shorter-lived productions. This shift raises questions about the depth and sustainability of contemporary theater, suggesting a more superficial and fast-paced cultural environment.
