Show: "COCK"

• DOB//Main Hall

A program of educational theater performances for teenagers, organized by the Youth Center of Belgrade and Studio Centar.

Belgrade, 2025. One click. One ticket. One illusion that everything can be had instantly.

"Gamble" follows high school student Aleksa on a journey from excitement and small wins to the complete loss of control, relationships, and identity.

In eight powerful scenes, the play dissects the mechanism of addiction in a modern setting: online betting sites, apps, advertisements, and the pressure to measure success by speed and risk. Echoes of Dostoevsky run parallel, exploring obsession, passion, and the moment when the game stops being a game.

"The Gambler" is not a moral lesson, but a warning.

A play that doesn't condemn—but asks: where is the line when you're no longer playing to win, but to survive?
