"One small death trilogy" of Elfrida Jelinek is a drama about death of art, theatre and culture. It is a phantasmagoric-poetic picture of civilization where there is no more place for humanistic determinations. In it, contradictory ideas about individual, pretty and ugly, good and evil, love and hatred, libido and aggression, victim and crime are divided and then reunited in the final picture of death.
Elfride Jelinek derived titles of this trilogy from Schubert songs "Queen of Fairies", "Death and the Girl" and "Traveler".
This Project is a good way to present to Belgrade public the work of this controversial writer, who uncompromisingly puts the contemporary world and its phenomena under her magnifying glass. In her creative work she is especially interested in the perception of woman in that world, which is also the case with three separate monologues dedicated to women and „feminine issues“.

The Nobel prize awarded to Elfrida Jelinek in 2004 represents a wonderful encouragement to all writers and thinkers that have not succumbed to the pressure of affirmation. Elfride Jelinek has invented a new language, difficult and shocking. She does not tell tales, but is an author who experiments, Austrian writer obsessed with language, in the tradition of authors and poets of Vienna Group, out of which Tomas Bernhard also originates. She is a chronicler of our self-alienation, gifted with a great dramaturgical talent. Her difficult language, her unpleasant topics have achieved a great success on stages of the German speaking countries. A few authors have been so hated, but given so much credit. Most of the German cultural editorial offices have expressed fanatic envy and reacted extremely unpleasantly on the Nobel Prize to Elfrida Jelinek.
