Sat između noći i dana. Sat s boka na bok. Sat za tridesetgodišnjake. Željeni sat uz pevanje petlova. Sat kada nas se zemlja odriče. Sat kada duva s ugaslih zvezda. Sat, a-zar-posle-nas-ništa-neče-ostati. Prazan, Gluh, tašt sat. Dno svih drugih sati. Nikom nije dobro u četiri ujutru. Ako je mravima dobro u četiri ujutru - čestitamo mravima.

Selma Spahić’s production of 4 in the Morning is hors d'oeuvre woven from Szymborska’s poetry itself, and it is both fascinating and terrible.” Lidija Vukčevič, Vijesti The hour from night to day. The hour from side to side. The hour for those past thirty. The hour swept clean to the crowing of cocks. The hour when earth betrays us. The hour when wind blows from extinguished stars. The hour of and-what-if-nothing-remains-after-us. The hollow hour. Blank, empty. The very pit of ail other hours. No one feels good at four in the morning.
