There’s No End With No Means

Based on her doctoral dissertation, Jasna Novakov Sibinović, Serbain theatrologist and editor, wrote Oliver Frljić Political Theatre: From Empathy to Sympathy. In her introduction, she put Frljić’s following statement as her key ideal pointer: “I don’t see theatre as an end but as a means; and I don’t think any less of theatre because of it.” An intentional avoiding of an “end” is, of course, not only pertinent for the topical discussion of theatre or art that should give final answers (and thereby suggest its own inviolability).
