Humor is never enough

We have prepared a panel for those looking for good humor “From the list of surrealists to the list of humorists”where you will find out how humor in the Balkans has adapted to modern times, but remained equally universal and recognizable. Once upon a time, the “Top List of Surrealists” made the whole region laugh with their uncompromising sketches, and today, thanks to platforms like TikTok, modern surrealists continue that tradition. Don’t miss out on hearing what they have to say on the subject Sead Hrustanovićone of the most famous Balkan TikTokers, who delights the audience with interpretations of Balkan moms, villages and neighborhoods, then Niko Ćuturićbetter known as CotsNo onewho builds popularity through videos in which she plays a typical mom in situations that are recognizable to everyone, and Rafael Sebaka @RafTheCild, who brings the spirit of Dalmatia into her creative sketches, which she started with her mother and grandmother.
