"The main premise is contained in the very title Nedozvani (Senseless) in the sense in which the people understand it: people who have lost the main guidelines in life and their every attempt to find their way ends by them becoming even more lost."

Momcilo Nastasijevic

(Excerpts from the interview with Momcilo Nastasijevic by writer Desimir Blagojevic, on the day of the premiere at the Academic Theatre, "Pravda", June 20th, 1931)

And, like Nastasijevic stands alone with his poetry and undeniable originality, so does his drama "Senseless" stand alone and original with its complex values - unusual language, depth of metaphor about our civic society ("tragic because they are incapable of being tragic"), with its dramatic characters and belonging to the modern movement with its irrationalism, against all the shallow psychobabble.

"Senseless" is undoubtedly our best play between the two wars, with an urban topic, in the Serbian drama heritage.
