Serbian dramatic literature, although he was at an advantage compared to the regional environment in the works, is successively delayed inn a European literary circles. Initials so Serbian comedy activities, Jovan Sterija Popovic, Kosta Trifkovic, Branislav Nusic, writers in this genre emerge from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, have become role models for most writers of this type of drama, not only in Serbia but certainly the region. particularity of this kind of dramatic writing, actions that clearly present a simple form of dramatic action within the framework of the comic creative process, situation comedies, nature and character; the plot and the main conflict was initiated in the framework of the comedy of confusion and process to achieve comic effect through verbal humor, is representatively stage creations recognizable to Serbian literary tradition. If we J. S. Popovic, Trifkovic and Nusic counted as part of the first group of comedy writers in Serbia, there is a conclusion to the second round of writers was recognizable in the works of writers Radivoje Lola Đukic, Novak Novak, Žika Živulovic Seraphim, whose graying comedy was introduced, not only dramas but also the adaptation of texts for TV and radio media and film.In the middle of the twentieth century in the literary and artistic circles of Serbia, and then the regional area, Yugoslavia tall new group of Serbian writers with leading authors: Aleksandar Popovic, Ljubomir Simovic and Dusan Kovacevic. Cabaret as a specific form of theatrical shaping, representative presented a series of associations and groups within the framework of theater institutions, where the form of entertainment, specific types of criticism, sharp polemics about the flaws in the company of both individuals and communities.In the big race, which would certainly metaphorically be called Serbian comedy, successively has grown one of the, today, most representative and most performed author Dusan Kovacevic. The statements of this great theatrical creator, imposed in an interview that he does not write satire, nor to criticize the man and society, but shows us, just as we are, this writer is placed at the head of the big race that is constant, with all its comic, or tragic characteristics, reflected in the life of the people of the regional climate. Simplified approach to the selection of themes and motifs, which are part of our everyday life, this writer close to our reality. His dramatic characters we ourselves we, precisely defined, recognizable me and clearly determined by tradition and heritage culture, which varies between extremes of positive and negative categories.Kovacevic characters and dramatic situations are a constant circular motion on the axes local and temporal determination. They are flexible in their definition, the regional environment, if we move into the past or present; if we locate them on the east-west, north or south. It is this flexibility is also reflected in the segment of stage-media presentation, because his texts, moved in any form, does not lose its quality, on the contrary, become a new artistic achievements. It is symptomatic that Dusan Kovacevic, in his marathon race, dominating the regional space 45 years, since the first presentation of the text Maratonci trce pocasni krug (1972, Belgrade) and that no matter what stage variant which presents this drama, it likewise attracts attention, directors, dramaturges, actors, on the one hand, but also to all audiences regardless of age or population discrepancy.
