ЕЛEМEНТИ ФAРСЕ У ДРAМAМA ДУШAНA КОВAЧЕВИЂA
THE ELEMENTS OF FARCE IN DUŠAN KOVAČEVIĆ’S DRAMAS

Summary/Abstract: In the dramatic work of Dušan Kovacevic we can observe the utilization of one old and popular comic genre o f farce for the purpose of a new dramatic quality, here named black or dark comedy. Although first Kovacevic’s plays were considered as farces, the author himself in his interviews denied such determinations. From the first dramas (Maratonci trče počasni krug or Radovan Treći) Kovacevic used the elements of farce never to create pure comic effects, but rather to evoke disturbing reactions, unable to be easily determined as comical, farcical or tragic; that kind of effect is realized by tight connecting the opposite elements.
