Azbuka Radvlad

A stands for Азбука (Azbuka) – that means alphabet! That is what you are going to learn today! AZBUKA hovers between a performance-lecture, an educational children's show, and hybrid video art. Learn the Macedonian alphabet from A to K Inspired by the iconic Macedonian children's television program Bushava Azbuka (Rough Alphabet) from the 1980s, it 'teaches' the Macedonian alphabet from A to Z to the audience through RADVLAD's TV presenter character and accompanying videos. As the alphabet unfolds, innocent words gradually transform into political, ideological, and violent language, demonstrating how history, nationalism, and prejudice can be intertwined in education. Through the interaction with RADVLAD, the audience is forced to question how national identity is taught, experienced, and passed on in a young country with a fragmented history like North Macedonia.
