The harsh climate of the mountain Dinara, serving as the most frequent topography of the author’s plays, tormented here not only by the war, but by the events that followed as its consequence, is brought to the stage of the Gavella Theatre by the bard of our theatre, Božidar Violić, who is thoroughly familiar with the work of Mate Matišić. Violić recognized in ‘’The Sons’’ a play ‘’written concisely, dramaturgically set, clearly structured, well thought-out, with an evenly spread subject-matter and the dialogue in a rich, colourful dialect pervaded by harsh dark humour’’, discovering in it outlines of antic tragedy and creating a performance whose spirituality peers through the layers of complex topics only to help the audience accept what Matišić uninhibitedly offers.
