The production “Freedom: The Most Expensive Capitalist World” is, certainly, one of the most original Bitef festival productions in these 50 years.

It has been conceived and performed by dramaturges Maja Pelević and Olga Dimitrijević, based on their research trip to Pyongyang. The starting point of their research is a thesis that, after the fall of the Berlin wall and recent improvement in the relationship between the USA and Cuba, North Korea is the last remnant of the Cold War and thus an ideal backdrop for all the projected stereotypes about the "enemy".

In the form of a well-controlled guided trip, the authors face and question the propaganda patterns and stereotypes of the North Korean totalitarian regime and Western neoliberal democracies, how the idea of freedom is represented in this context and how it is manipulated.

Director: Maja Pelević & Olga Dimitrijević
