Costumed storytelling tour - Cavtat's History Brought to Life – a Theatrical Experience on Foot is one more addition to the series of new programs of the Cavtat Konavle Tourist Board, which is being organized in Cavtat for the first time this tourist season. It is an unusual combination of a guided tour and a theatre performance. The performance is being done by the tourist guide Vedran Mezei and the members of the Theatre Company Kolarin from Dubrovnik.
Costumed storytelling tour is a kind of journey through the past of Cavtat through its streets and landmarks, and visitors visit them in the company of some of the most important historical figures who stayed here. The time frame of the stories the guests will hear is the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, when Cavtat was a home to some of the most prominent Croatian artists, politicians and businessmen.
Everything starts in Villa Banac, where visitors are welcomed by the owner of the house, Božo Banac. He will talk about the interesting facts from his biography, as well as details of the visit of the English royal family, which he hosted here in 1936. Guests will have the opportunity to meet his first wife, Marija Račić Banac, who reveals the details of her tragic death, but also the intriguing love story between her and Ivan Meštrović. The storytelling tour then moves to the streets of Cavtat where, under the Banac villa, we meet Tino Pattiera, one of the biggest opera stars of the first half of the 20th century. Tour participants will meet the legal expert, passionate collector and true erudite Baltazar Bogišić in front of the centre of his collection in the Rector's Palace. On the square, guests will meet Jelka Miš, who talks about herself, the Konavle connection and her valuable association. Of course, there is also a small embroiderer from Jelka's school. We will then be going towards House Bukovac. Interestingly, the guests are not greeted by the famous painter but by his wife Jelica (because Vlaho is painting in his studio). She will greet them in the garden. She will tell the audience about her harmonious marriage, joint trips and other details from their lives.
Finally, in front of the Church of Our Lady of the Snow, the participants of the event will meet the Croatian politician Fran Supilo. In front of his monument, he will reveal to those gathered why even after his death he could not have peace even in his native Cavtat.
