The latest production of the Tivat Culture Center, the theater play “CONTRA MUNDUM”, inspired by the autobiography “The Secret Life of Salvador Dali”, is a masterpiece that rounds off the selection of the 31st HAPS Theater and Music, presenting the majesty of the Actor, the Director and the magnificent relationship of musical, visual, narrative, mime, humorous and emotional experience in the theater.

His eccentric appearance and shocking attitudes in the public caused divided opinions, but they also made him famous… Salvador Dali. Genius or charlatan? A prophetic picture of the modern world or a mere diversion of every rule, order, ideology…? Contra mundum is not a play based on the biography of a great artist, but a puzzle game about the art of living in this world.
