Jelena Lukic (born Jelena Markovic) is a Serbian writer and performer. She wrote five books- two novels, two story books and a book of poetry. Besides, she wrote two plays for theater.
Beginning as a writer, Lukic shifted her focus to performance, room shows, stage and fresh poetry. In 2006 Lukic presented "Who cares for Anna Karenina", a new and experimentally stage show on a border of a theater play and a poetry performance. It's about the last lover of Anna Karenina, a librarian who helped her in escape from the novel, and her last minutes.
