How many worker’s wages did the Mrnjavčević brothers pay out in three years of construction? Is a woman a material? How old will little Jovo be when the trial of his mother’s murderers is finished? Do you believe in fairies? The play Epic Games is based on the poem Building of Skadar, which is a part of the literature curriculum for the 5th grade of elementary school, and is connected with the coursework of technical education, math, and civic education. The lower age limit for this performance is 10 years, while no upper limit truly exists, since the topics addressed in the poem are just as relevant to adult viewers. The play has an interactive character: certain parts transform into a dialogue with the audience about themes from the original poem, which vary depending on the age and other characteristics of the audience and auditorium.
