A one-woman comedy about love, madness, and modern relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-woman comedy Crazy About Love!\u00a0by Katja Restovi\u0107 alias Eva Lucas\u00a0is a witty yet relentlessly honest theatrical dive into the emotional landscape of the contemporary woman. Through a monologue form, the performance dissects infatuation in the digital age\u2014relationships sparked by messages, calls, apps, and projections that often have little grounding in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story follows a woman caught in the whirl of a virtual romance: from initial euphoria, erotic charge, and idealisation, to doubt, silence, emotional breakdown, and obsessive self-questioning. The stage is minimalist yet dynamic\u2014the space shifts continuously with the protagonist\u2019s inner state, while the phone, messages, and calls become almost equal \u201ccharacters\u201d in the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As both author and performer, Restovi\u0107 spares neither herself nor the audience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, the text boldly hovers on the edge of discomfort, irony, and dark humour, opening up themes of emotional dependency, fear of rejection, women\u2019s expectations, and male silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u201cThese are situations women often go through in their lives. Everyone manages emotions in their own way, but infatuation strips us all bare,\u201d says Katja Restovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of the monodrama is not only a love story, but the very mechanism of falling in love as a state in which reason loses control and emotions take over body and mind. The performance captures inner monologues that many recognise, but rarely dare to speak out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 \u201cLove can be chaotic, blind, and exhausting\u2014but it is beautiful. I can\u2019t imagine life without it,\u201d Restovi\u0107 emphasises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crazy About Love! \u00a0is Restovi\u0107\u2019s second monodrama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crazy About Love! is Restovi\u0107\u2019s second monodrama centred on a powerful female role, and that unwavering focus on a woman\u2019s perspective makes the piece intensely relatable. The audience\u2014especially women\u2014will easily recognise their own experiences in this comedic, yet painfully truthful work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monodrama offers no simple answers and no moral lessons. Instead, it holds up a mirror: sometimes distorted, sometimes brutally clear, but always human. It reminds us that infatuation is a state of risk\u2014and that its strength lies precisely in that uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n
