CURRICULUM VITAE
BERISLAV CIMERMAN
● ABCD Trupa, an independent association of theater
- He watched the tiger. He
felt that deep inside his
soul tiger knows he would
never get out. Just once he
clutched his paw upon the
surface of the rock on which
he laid, so someone from the
outside could think it's
just a jolly movement
emulating play. However,
such move could not fool
him. He clearly saw the
moment in which tiger
forfeited from scenes which
curled in his mind like a
waves on a breeze, and his
look became glassy and firm
like a cliff which pointed
the sky above him. At that
moment, the crack was
conceived on the visor of
the prophet within the fault
of dreams which separate
brain hemispheres. No one
will be able to repair it
ever again. Of course, media
reported none of that …

ABOUT THE PROJECT ‘BOOK, MUSIC,
PUPPET, FILM-I'M ACTING!’
- Children with difficulties were
equally working in this project
with talented children. This had
enormously positive impact on
their confidence and feelings –
they felt much better in school
and more competent in life.
IVANA MIŠČEVIĆ SRB
Pedagogue in Primary
School ‘Bilje’
- The potential of such projects
is enormous because pupils love to
participate in them. School should
be the coolest and most fun place
in town and this project showed
that it is possible. Kids loved it!
VLADIMIR BJELOBRK
Pedagogue in Primary
School ‘Bilje’
- I was thrilled with the fact
that those workshops encouraged
children’s creativity rather than
expose them with something they
have to learn by hart.
ALEN SKELEDŽIJA
Parent
It was very nice, and we learned a
lot. I only regret that we couldn't
stay on a stage a little longer.
