Velika is a great play about the personal tragedy of a woman, which is a metaphor for the tragedy of a nation. A personal story of survival, which is a symbol for the survival of the people.

The mythical Velika, from the anthological Macedonian prose “Pirey” by P. M. Andreevski, is a tragic heroine, she longs for at least a ray of hope, light, comfort – which remains impossible, unattainable until the very end of the story,

Velika, probably the most significant/authentic female character from Macedonian literature, she foresaw her own destiny: in order to reach Greatness, one must die. At least a few times. At least in several ways.
