Zlatko Topčić, ‘Kako Musa dere jarca’ (Biography/Necrography of Musa Ćazim Ćatić) or Lyrical Neohistoric Dramatic Text

Summary/Abstract: Dramatic text “Kako Musa dere jarca’’ (CV / Necrography of Musa Ćazim Ćatić) is a poetic drama of Zlatko Topčić, which draws its sources from biographical data about the life of the one of the largest Bosniak poets Musa Ćazim Ćatić, but at the same time, it also carries in itsself the unique universal message of the poet as a perpetual foreigner in this material deterministic world. The poet is imprisoned in this world’s troubled womb of existence and the poet is also, through his existence, necessarily constrained by material aspects of his bleak existence. The figure of the poet, at the beginning and end of the play, is presented as a dead man, but in the specific form of the fetus, which is definitely one effective symbol that represents the poet ever conceived in the womb of Bosnia and the Bosnian world. The poet has captured the universal poetic fate in which he lives and exists as a perpetual stranger in this world, where he fights and creates, lives for the poetry and dies for it as well. The subtitle of this, shows that CV / Necrography has incognitive and persuasive function, because it introduces us to the inside of the play and offers us the reception of the tragic hero in which the eros and thantos are in creative symbiosis, in which the entire life is marked by death. However, Ćatić is also the symbol of the Bosniaks’ sufferings, at the crossroads between historical frictions, in an effort always remains connected with their heritage. Musa does not accidentally die in the position of the embryo, he symbolically dies in this position in which the others are born – what makes his death a new birth, birth in the true life which he has always aspired to, so the poet becomes in a certain way infinite in symbiosis with his country- Bosnia.
