US film director Milos Forman (fourth from the right) poses with the cast of his film 'Hair'
Nudity, shocking during the 1960s, has no role in the play now because "it is needless in this pornographic era," Mladenovic added. Long hair, too, had become "completely normal."
The acclaimed musical, born of the sexual revolution and hippy culture of the 1960s, was first staged in New York in 1968 and became a worldwide hit.
Its premiere in then communist Yugoslavia was attended by then leader Josip Broz Tito.
It was the first version of "Hair" produced in a communist country during the Cold war era.
Instead of Vietnam, the musical's young protesters will raise their voices against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and against consumerism, global warming, the pressure of work, globalisation and social alienation.
The actors will perform famous songs from the original musical in Serbian, like their predecessors did in 1969, and some new hits have been added.
