Miro Gavran: 'The Paris edition of my drama is a continuation of my rich cooperation with French translators, I had five premiers in Paris, and I also had seven books published in that extraordinary city. Regarding the Chinese publication of my comedy The Doll, I see it as a great acknowledgement to my theatre writing. So far only my novel How We Broke Our Legs was published in Beijing, and now they can finally get to know me as a dramatist." |

Miro Gavran's play Metamorphosis published in Hong Kong in Chinese Another important news for affirmation of our author and Croatian drama in general comes from Hong Kong, where CHINA THEATRE PRESS published Metamorphoses, an anthology of east European drama. The book was put together by the renowned Bulgarian theatrologist Kalina Stefanova who lives in China for many years. She chose 11 European dramatists, and Miro Gavran among them. His hit play The Doll is accompanied by a studious text by prof. Sanja Nikcevic from the University of Osijek, Croatia. Gavran's The Doll has had 19 premiers across four continents, from New York in 2012 to Mumbai and Sidney. Eleven dramatists found their place in the anthology of S. Mrozek from Poland, H. Boicev from Bulgaria, D. Kovacevic from Serbia, O. Danek from Czechia, I. Orkeny from Hungary, and G. Carbunariu from Romania. On this occasion Miro Gavran said: 'The Paris edition of my drama is a continuation of my rich cooperation with French translators, I had five premiers in Paris, and I also had seven books published in that extraordinary city. Regarding the Chinese publication of my comedy The Doll, I see it as a great acknowledgement to my theatre writing. So far only my novel How We Broke Our Legs was published in Beijing, and now they can finally get to know me as a dramatist." Miro Gavran started this year with premieres: Ice-cream in Salzburg, Forget Hollywood in Pristina, Kosovo, and jubilar 100th performances of his hit comedies: Beer at Theatre Gavran and Wanted a New Husband at the Satirical theatre "Kerempuh".
