Glorija: mirakl u šest slika

Glorija: mirakl u šest slika

Ranko Marinković

"Gloria" is a drama by Ranko Marinković, first performed in 1955, which explores the complex themes of sin, redemption, human nature and the relationship between faith and passion through strong symbolism and deep philosophical motifs.

This work is one of the most famous from Marinković's oeuvre and is often interpreted as a modern moral drama with elements of criticism of social and religious dogmas.

The story is set in a remote place, where the provincial Franciscan monastery is at the center of the events. The main character, Fr. Melchior, an old and experienced priest, tries to solve the situation that arises with the arrival of the young and attractive traveling actress Gloria. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Gloria takes refuge in a monastery, which causes confusion among monks and villagers.

Through the character of Gloria Marinković, she explores the duality of human nature - passion and sin versus purity and faith. Friar Melchior, once in love with a worldly woman himself, faces his own past weaknesses as he tries to help Gloria with her inner struggle. In parallel, young Friar Lucian, Melchior's protégé, experiences a crisis of faith because of his attraction to Gloria.

As the drama develops, the conflicts between the spiritual and the physical become more pronounced, culminating in situations that expose the duplicity of the community and the powerlessness of the individual in the face of his own weaknesses.

"Gloria" is a deep and layered drama that asks universal questions about human nature, faith and passion. Through intense dialogues and symbolism, Marinković questions the boundaries between the divine and the human, the spiritual and the physical, while at the same time criticizing social hypocrisy.
