THE GAME IS FULL OF CUPS OF STRENGTH AND WILL TO LIVE. THE GAME IS ECSTASY, THE PEAK OF EXCITEMENT, THE EXPRESSION OF ONESELF IN SPACE, THE EXPRESSION OF AS MANY WORDS AS IN A SONG, AS MANY SOUNDS AS IN MUSIC. — Jovan Dučić
The Cultural and Artistic Society DIMITRIJE KOTUROVIĆ was founded in 1967 in Belgrade. With the arrival of architect Slobodan Prokić in 1968 as the artistic director, later of the artistic society, the ensemble of folk dances began working on the systematic enrichment of the rich folkloric heritage of our people while simultaneously preserving its roots, style, and basic character.
Today, the ensemble has 17 choreographies in its repertoire from the most eminent authors (Branko Marković, Dragomir Vukotić, Mira Sanjina, Slobodan Prokić...). Since its founding, in addition to numerous concerts in the country, the ensemble has performed over 1,500 times in various parts of Europe and several African countries.
Significant cities where the ensemble has performed include Hanover, Paris, Moscow, Tripoli, Athens, Kyiv, Thessaloniki, and Vienna. In addition to the folk dance and song ensemble, the society has four other sections: a folk orchestra, a choir, an amateur theater, and the ballet studio FLEKS. The society has over 300 members.
