Over five past decades, except for a brief hiatus in the mid-nineties, artists from almost all continents have performed at the Monodrama and Pantomime Festival. Artists from our region who have performed monodramas and pantomime plays were the most distinguished and significant artists of the past, including legendary actors such as Ljuba Tadic, Fabijan Sovagovic, Marija Kon, Milos Zutic, Mira Banjac, Zijah Sokolovic, Maja Dimitrijevic, Svetlana Bojkovic, Milena Dravic, Dragan Nikolic, Ljiljana Blagojevic, Josip Pejakovic, and Rade Serbedzija, as well as the young artists - Vesna Stankovic, Marta Beresh, and Nada Shargin. The visionary creator of the Festival was an exceptional theatre expert, Ljubisa Ruzic, then deputy manager of the National Theater in Belgrade. A team of experts who supported the idea and formed the aesthetic platform of the festival included prominent theatre creators. The longtime selector of the festival was Ivan Bekjarev, who made a significant contribution to the development of this important festival.
