Luka Modrić, the revered Croatian football star, is set to have his life story portrayed on the theatre stage in a new production titled “Luka Modrić: Moja igra” (My Game). Directed by Arija Rizvić, the play is a collaborative effort between the Croatian Football Federation and Boss Teatar, delving deep into the personal and emotional journey of the football legend.
The script, penned by Valentina and Luka Mavretić, offers a fresh perspective on Modrić’s rise to fame, not only highlighting his on-field accomplishments but also shedding light on his personal challenges and victories. The play features Matej Đurđević, Gloria Dubelj, and Denis Bosak in the lead roles, aiming to provide audiences with a moving portrayal of Modrić’s life.
Director Arija Rizvić expressed the intent to showcase the multifaceted aspects of Modrić beyond his football prowess, emphasizing his roles as a son, father, husband, grandson, and brother. The production aims to offer a comprehensive view of the experiences that molded Modrić into the iconic figure he is today, presenting him as a dramatic hero with a compelling narrative.
Through the play, audiences will witness the behind-the-scenes struggles, the hurdles faced, and the resilience displayed by Modrić on his path to success. In a world where instant fame is often glorified, Modrić’s story serves as a poignant reminder that true achievements come through dedication and hard work, echoing his own words that “the best things never come easy.”
While football serves as the central theme, “Moja igra” transcends the sport, delivering universal messages on themes such as growth, family, sacrifice, and triumph. These themes are expected to resonate with viewers of all ages, particularly with young individuals who admire Modrić as a role model.
The premiere of “Luka Modrić: Moja igra” is scheduled for Sunday, 18 May at Scenoteka Theatre in Zagreb, with subsequent performances planned across various Croatian cities.
