22 September 2018 - On the eve of September 21, numerous visitors to Luštica had the opportunity to experience an unusual journey through Kotor from the ancient times. The multimedia program of the Kotor organization "Che nuova”, Kotor time travel, delighted each guest - from the youngest to the oldest.
"This is our first performance outside Kotor. Symbolically, we’re here in Luštica Bay, a place that is completely new in the entire Bay of Kotor and beyond. I hope that Kotor time travel will come here again. This year, our common goal was to make new inhabitants of Luštica Bay, who come from all over the world, see a part of the rich history of Boka and Kotor. That history includes a long story about the Bay of Kotor, its people, the past, the way of life back then, numerous stories of sailors, their journeys, their return to their homes where they brought back not only wealth, but also creations in the field of poetry, painting and all possible art fields," said Dolores Fabian from Che nuova.
Through dramatic play and scenography, the performances of Kotor time travel symbolically presented: how the shift of the guards at the main city gate took place; the maintenance work on the city clock that has been under the jurisdiction of the Homen family for a hundred years; the work of the famous Kotor painters who found inspiration in the squares, etc.
The Dobošar (drummer-messenger) also passed through the Luštica promenade. A long time ago, “dobošar” was a person in charge of making the most important announcements for all citizens on the streets of Kotor.
"This program, which is interesting not only for its scenography but also for its costumes, manner of performance and practically everything else, is dedicated to presenting the city life of Kotor during the past centuries. It is our great pleasure that the very Luštica Bay is the first destination outside of Kotor where “Kotor time travel” was realized. We will most certainly organize more events in the future, and we hope that such events will help us attract guests to Luštica Bay," said Slavica Milić from marketing service of Luštica Development.
The main goal of organizing this year’s Kotor time travel in Luštica is to create a link between this specific area inhabited by people from all over the world, and the tradition, values and rich culture of Kotor.
