Sveta Rožalija in Theatre

Kazališna praizvedba Svete Rožalije bila je 1999. u Gradskom kazalištu Požega prigodom obilježavanja 300. obljetnice rođenja pisca. Mladi, ali talentirani profesionalni suradnici (redatelj Jasmin Novljaković, adaptacija i dramatizacija Anita Jelić, izbor glazbe i koreografija Jasminka Petek Krapljan, scenografija Miljenko Sekulić, akcentuacija Snježana Mostarkić), uz sudjelovanje petnaest požeških glumaca, članova Srednjoškolske kazališne družine i starijih glumaca postavili su iznimno uspješnu predstavu spajajući barokni tekst, jezik i akcent 18. stoljeća sa suvremenim vizualnim pristupom. Krenuvši od pitanja što nam teme o kojima govori ep poručuju danas, dokazali su da je barokni ep zanimljiv suvremenom gledatelju jer govori o onome što nedostaje suvremenoj sceni – smislu života, a kroz likove pokazuje moguće dobre i zle odgovore na životne probleme. Nažalost, to je bila jedina kazališna izvedba (uz jednu radiodramu), ali su Kanižlića kao lik na scenu doveli učenici OŠ Antuna Kanižlića 2017. u predstavi Vrijeme Antuna Kanižlića.Sveta Rožalija was first performed in 1999 at the Požega City Theatre, on the occasion of marking the 300th birth anniversary of the author. Talented young professionals (director: Jasmin Novljaković; adaptation and dramatization: Anita Jelić; choice of music and choreography: Jasminka Petek Krapljan; stage design: Miljenko Sekulić; accentuation: Snježana Mostarkić), cooperating with fifteen actors from Požega, members of the secondary-school theatrical troupe, and actors of the older generation, created an exceptionally successful performance combining Baroque text, language and accent of the 18th century with modern visual approach. Starting with the question what the message of the topics tackled by the long poem today is, they demonstrated how interesting this Baroque long poem actually is for a modern spectator, since it speaks about the thing that is missing from the modern stage – the sense of living, while portraying the potentially right and wrong answers to the problems of life through characters. Unfortunately, this was the only theatrical performance of this work (apart from a radio drama). However, in 2017, students of the Antun Kanižlić Primary School presented Kanižlić as a character in the play Vrijeme Antuna Kanižlića (The Time of Antun Kanižlić)
