Nakon komemoracije u šibenskom HNK-u obitelj, brojni prijatelji i kolege jučer su se na šibenskom groblju oprostili od književnika Ive Brešana koji je preminuo 3. siječnja 2017. u 81. godini života. Na posljednjem ispraćaju jedinstvenog hrvatskog književnika bili su i mnogi glumci poput Vedrana Mlikote, Gorana Navojca, Linde Begonje, Ane Maras Harmander, dramaturg Mate Matišić te Brešanov prijatelj i suradnik redatelj Veljko Bulajić.

'Imao sam stjecajem okolnosti sreću da radim s najvećim scenaristima filmske umjetnosti, ali upornijeg, talentiranijeg, vještijeg od Brešana nisam upoznao. Dugujem mu jako puno, kao i hrvatska kinematografija, jer joj je dao jako puno. Iznenađen sam jer sam bio s njim prije nekoliko dana, ali, znate, Ivo Brešan je ponos Šibenika i hrvatske kulture, on nije otišao, ostat će vječno tu, neka mu je slava', rekao je na sahrani okupljenima Veljko Bulajić.

Redatelj, glumac i prevoditelj Pero Mioč dirljivim se govorom oprostio od svog dragog prijatelja.

'Ivo Brešan napustio nas je riješen svih dugova, ali mi smo svi njegovi dužnici. Brešanu su napravljene neviđene nepravde. Nije doživio objavu sabranih ni izabranih djela, nije primljen u Hrvatsku akademiju znanosti i umjetnosti, premda su ga akademici Ivan Aralica i Nedjeljko Fabrio kandidirali dobro znajući što čine. To nisu prihvatili njihovi kolege, koji su isto tako znali što čine, jer bi uz zvijezdu Brešana potamnjeli njihovi efemerni feralići. Tako je Ivo Brešan otišao bez dugova, ali opteretivši nas. Svi smo mu dužnici. Mi u Šibeniku dugujemo mu zahvalnosti i ljubav, a strukture vlasti, društva pisaca i književnika i HAZU neka peru savjest', istaknuo je Pero Mioč.

This is Ivo Brešan, one of the biggest Croatian playwrights of all time, whose work will live in our theaters for centuries to come. Yesterday, I heard the sad news that he is no longer among us. I've had the honor and the privilege to know him since I was a little kid. I was a member of an amateur theatre group in our home town Šibenik, and we performed in the same theater where Ivo worked. Ivo's wife Jela Brešan was also a professor of Croatian language and a great mentor and teacher. These two people touched my young life in Šibenik in most amazing and beautiful way. It was through Ivo's playwright talent that I learned how gratifying and addictive stage can be after portraying "Miško" in "Nečastivi na filozofskom fakultetu" (I believe I was 16 or something...) and first clear thoughts of becoming a professional actor started to form. I still remember with clarity all the kind words and encouragement coming from this great guy, I remember how proud he was when "Mali" was accepted to the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, and I remember how happy and proud I was while portraying "Joco" in his most amazing play "Hamlet iz Mrduše Donje" with the greatest cast ever. I just wanted to say, thank you Ivo, on your amazing creativity and accomplishments. It was a pleasure and honor to be a part of your work equally as an actor and as an audience. Počivao u miru Božjem. #ivobrešan #sibenskokazaliste @zeljkokoloper
