Abstract

It was filmed in March 1989. in Israel. For the first and only time, Danilo Kiš appears in front of the camera in the role of a television narrator who represents the destinies of two Jews, Jovanka Ženi Lebl and Eva Nahir Panić, seven months before his death. Through their lives, the history of our region from the 1930s to the 1960s, poverty, communism, war, the State Security Service (UDBA), emigration, etc. are narrated in an exciting way. The series Bare existence was premiered in February 1990., six months after Kiš’s death, as the last tel- evision program that all citizens of the former Yugoslavia could watch together. The series consists of four episodes.
