Ružica Maurus, an actress with Zagreb's Kazalište Komedija (Comedy Theatre), premiered the video clip for her new song, "Julia". The clip was created in collaboration with young Dubrovnik-based author Anja Grabovac and directed by Hani Domazet.
Filming took place at several locations in and around Dubrovnik — at the Trsteno Arboretum, on Lokrum Island and within the historic walls of the Samostan Male braće (Minorite Monastery). The song "Julia" was written by Anja Grabovac and Jan Jakovljev.
Maurus is from Požega and a permanent member of the Kazalište Komedija ensemble, and is a recipient of the Hrvatsko glumište (Croatian Stage) Award. During her career, she has performed at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival — playing the Fox in "The Enchanted Forest" at Lovrijenac Fort and Prospero's daughter Miranda in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" on Lokrum. She has also held a concert at the main stage of the Kazalište Marina Držića (Marin Držić Theatre).
Lokrum is not an unfamiliar location for her. She first stayed there four years ago, when she was working on W. Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" under the direction of Vito Taufer. Last year, she participated in A. P. Chekhov's play "The Seagull" on the same island.
Maurus passed her entrance exam at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb with the monologue "Romeo, Romeo, why art thou Romeo?".
