The Association of Montenegrins in Split will organize a special cultural and artistic program on November 14, marking Njegoš Day, Montenegro’s national cultural holiday. The event will celebrate the life and literary legacy of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, one of the most important poets and thinkers in Montenegrin history.
The event, held with the support of the City of Split, will take place at the Split Puppet Theatre (Gradsko kazalište lutaka), beginning at 5 p.m.
The program will feature performances by the “Montenegrin Dawns” choir (Crnogorske zore) of the Association of Montenegrins in Split. Students from the “Stojan Cerović” Gymnasium in Nikšić, Montenegro, will also perform a theatrical presentation titled “Njegoš – The Eternal Flame of Montenegro.”
Through their stage performance, the students will portray the life and creative legacy of one of Montenegro’s most distinguished literary figures.
Through its cultural and artistic activities, the Association of Montenegrins in Split contributes to preserving Montenegrin identity, language, and traditions in Croatia.
“By commemorating important historical and cultural dates, organizing cultural programs, and cooperating with institutions from Montenegro, the association strives to maintain the connection between the Montenegrin diaspora and its homeland while introducing Montenegro’s cultural heritage to a wider audience,” the association said in its statement.
