There is a lack of understanding about how the process of institutional forgetting works and how some memories stay a part of oral narratives and commu- nicative social memory while they are omitted from the official memory represented by the official documents and events of remembering. Inspired by Paul Connerton’s article on the typology of forgetting we explore his typology in selected case studies of three public theaters located in Belgrade, focusing on remembering policy and practices investigating if a type of forgetting typical for a state/society/nation level is possible to be applied in the context of a cultural organization. We agree with Wessel and Moulds that developing common language and terminology would be important and beneficial for cross disciplinary dialogue. In this sense, the study shows how the typology of for- getting in societies can be applied and developed in the organizational memory studies and cultural management. The focus of the research is the dynamics of remembering and forgetting explored through analysis of the interaction between changing context, official institutional memories, and social communicative memories.

Aside from adapting nov- els (for example, of Slobodan Selenić, Milorad Pavić, Al- eksandar Tišma, etc.) or Greek tragedies, poems, myths, DRAMATISATIONS there are adaptations of epic folk poetry specific to Ser- bia and the Balkans. Simović’s Hasanaginica or Banović Strahinja adapted by Borislav Mihailović-Mihiz based on the motifs of these two poems, are performed with great frequency. A great example of adapting poetry for stage Translated by > Stefan Alidini is Jernej Lorenci’s Kingdom of Heaven. He and his team staged poems from the pre-Kosovo and Kosovo cycles at BITEF and the National theatre. These are only some of the numerous examples where great works of literature – regardless of whether they were written as plays, for they can also be a part of the adaptation process – novels or folk poetry, were trans- formed into a new version and a first-rate dramatic text. One of many things to note is that working based on existing literature (mainly prose) falls into a separate category of dramatic works that are considered “origi- nal” creations.
