Goran Višnjić, šibenski glumac s hollywoodskom adresom, na svojem je Instagram profilu objavio dirljivu poruku u znak sjećanja na nedavno preminulog Ivu Brešana.
– Ovo je Ivo Brešan, jedan od najvećih hrvatskih dramaturga čiji će rad živjeti u našim kazalištima kroz stoljeća pred nama. Jučer sam čuo tužnu vijest kako više nije među nama. Imao sam čast i privilegiju poznavati ga otkad sam bio dijete. Bio sam član amaterske glumačke skupine u svom rodnom gradu Šibeniku, izvodili smo predstave u istom kazalištu u kojemu je i on radio. Njegova žena, Jela Brešan, bila je profesorica hrvatskog jezika, izvrsna mentorica i učiteljica. Ovo dvoje ljudi je utjecalo na moj život u najranijoj dobi na jedan čudesan način, stoji u Višnjićevoj objavi.
This is Ivo Brešan, one of the biggest Croatian playwrights of all time, whose work will live in our theaters for centuries to come. Yesterday, I heard the sad news that he is no longer among us. I’ve had the honor and the privilege to know him since I was a little kid. I was a member of an amateur theatre group in our home town Šibenik, and we performed in the same theater where Ivo worked. Ivo’s wife Jela Brešan was also a professor of Croatian language and a great mentor and teacher. These two people touched my young life in Šibenik in most amazing and beautiful way. It was through Ivo’s playwright talent that I learned how gratifying and addictive stage can be after portraying “Miško” in “Nečastivi na filozofskom fakultetu” (I believe I was 16 or something…) and first clear thoughts of becoming a professional actor started to form. I still remember with clarity all the kind words and encouragement coming from this great guy, I remember how proud he was when “Mali” was accepted to the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, and I remember how happy and proud I was while portraying “Joco” in his most amazing play “Hamlet iz Mrduše Donje” with the greatest cast ever. I just wanted to say, thank you Ivo, on your amazing creativity and accomplishments. It was a pleasure and honor to be a part of your work equally as an actor and as an audience. Počivao u miru Božjem. #ivobrešan #sibenskokazaliste @zeljkokoloper
