A religious tale about what once was, inspired by the texts of Tennessee Williams.
This performance is inspired by the fate of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and other countries. It asks essential questions about the origins of evil and about living conditions in times of war carried forward by its survivors. Thematically it deals with the persistence of memory and the forcing of one’s way through the forest. Bosnia is a land of many mystic visions; it’s a land in which young adepts in houses of prayer learn to understand the world through stories of dervishes.
The text of our staged presentation works with interpretational variations of the play A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, taking the form of a play within a play. The conceptual framework of the performance will be the experiences of the Sarajevo War Theatre (SARTR Sarajevski ratni teatr), which played without a break throughout the entire blockade and in spite of the war, functioning much like a therapeutic tool.
"This world does not exist"
“My only point, the only point that I'm making, is life has got to be allowed to continue even after the dream of life is--all--over“
Tennessee Williams
„Any genocide is hell, but personal genocide burns the worst.“
