FOREWORD The contemporary experience of the city evokes many ambivalent feelings because of its production and consumption, spectacles and surveillance, danger and security. At the same time, the experience of the city and its community in this era of cosmopolitanism is both local and global.

The city is local when we act locally: when we share everyday experiences with our neighbours on the street or in the theatre.

The city is global when we recognise that its ties surpass its borders: be it because of strangers who visit it, various languages that are being spoken in it or different cultural encounters and exchanges. In this context Sarajevo has its own specific story.

For centuries various stories have been exchanged in this region.

Here the history has always told its stories, thus changing the perspectives of those hoping for a better future. The last tragic story of the war during the 1990’s relocated Sarajevo’s position from local to global: Sarajevo became the symbol of loss and suffering of people who once lived together but lost their bond because of the war.

Does the idea of a multicultural Europe still exist or did it get lost in political turbulences? Are the refugees fleeing to Europe today close to the ones who fled their homes in this region during the 1990’s? How do we treat past and present-day immigrants? Can theatre do anything to make our lives more bearable, both locally and globally? We believe it can, by telling their different stories.

A SMALL TOWN OF GREAT STORIES Sarajevo is a city of surprising diversity and harmony and, on the other side, of incompatible differences. Here, the sides of the world have come together and reconciled. These streets carry the age-old secrets of different beliefs, songs, and thoughts, as a home where no one is allowed to be uncomfortable. Sarajevo is a small town of great stories.

Because of its long and grand history and fusion of different cultures, it is sometimes called the “Jerusalem of Europe” or “Jerusalem of the Balkans”. Sarajevo is one of those cities that entered the memory of the humanity several times: first when Gavrilo Princip fired his fatal shot, the second time in 1984, when the Olympic Games were held here, and the third time in the nineties, during the siege. It is a city with a specific spirit. No city is just the buildings and the neighbourhoods, known and unknown corners, parks, and boulevards, instead, it is a city that pulsates with the heartbeats of its inhabitants, their destinies, because only they – the heroes and the villains, the known and unknown heroes of their streets – represent its true history and build its myth. Many stories were written here about the city where wars start and where wondrous beauty flourishes. The city of change, of travel, of merak, but also of revenge and dark fate. The mythical Sarajevo survived the longest siege in modern history of mankind, when it was mercilessly destroyed from the surrounding hills. However, the muses were not silent in the theatre, those years have seen a huge cultural resistance of the artists against the war ideology and the division of the city. During the siege of Sarajevo, which lasted 1,425 days, the cultural life of the besieged city spawned perhaps the most avant-garde theatre scene in the former Yugoslavia. Under the force of the blows it sustained, Sarajevo tried to preserve its identity and its existence, defending itself against aggression, the images of destruction and violence. Sarajevo defended itself through art, which is easy to prove if we take into consideration the fact that, during that time, there were 3,102 artworks created, 48 concerts and over 170 exhibitions in Sarajevo. In the city’s theatres 182 premieres were staged and seen by over half a million people. Theatre under siege demonstrated the meaning of art in difficult times for every person, and how it can help people to withstand the impossible. Therefore, Sarajevo is an ideal place to think about the city as a stage of individual fates, a merry-go-round, a curious collection of different characters – sometimes even made out of paper, arising entirely from the imagination.

The City, a Scene for Stories of Difference Many cities in Europe are becoming increasingly multicultural.

Clearly, multiculturalism is not the only component of diversity.

Different ages, different styles of many women and men in our cities, different economic classes, different expressions of physical and mental potentials together with diverse architecture and a myriad of programs turn our cities into an exciting stage of diversity. How does theatre co-create a diversity in our cities?

How does theatre reflect a street life?

ABOUT ETC Founded in 1988, the European Theatre Convention (ETC) promotes European theatre as a vital social platform for dialogue, democracy and interaction that responds to, reflects and engages with today’s diverse audiences and changing societies. ETC fosters a socially engaged, inclusive notion of theatre that brings Europe’s cultural, social and linguistic heritage to audiences and communities everywhere.

As the largest network of public theatres in Europe, it has more than forty European theatre members from over twenty countries, reflecting the diversity of Europe’s vibrant cultural sector.

ETC’s mission is intertwined with the role of theatre to promote the valuable experiences it offers its audiences, as a meeting place, but also for being a high quality artistic reflection of sociopolitical and economic affairs of life. In ETC, we nourish theatre’s capacities via exchange and open dialogue about the individual, art and society, to offer citizens a cohesive and integrative cultural program encouraging to act democratically and reasonably in a pluralistic community.

As new challenges arise due to changing dynamics of cultural politics embedded in global developments, ETC will continue to strive further in order to strategically develop its areas of activities in the coming years.

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL THEATER FESTIVAL MESS The International Theater and Film Festival MESS was founded in 1960 under the name of The Festival of Small and Experimental Stages of Yugoslavia (Festival malih i eksperimentalnih scena Jugoslavije) which gave it the widely recognized acronym MES. The Festival was established at the initiative of Jurislav Korenić, and is one of the oldest festivals in East and Southeast Europe. Intended as a festival of Yugoslav theaters, MESS was held every year in Sarajevo. A specific feature of the festival were the visits of world famous contemporary experimental theater performers. The Living Theater from New York was one of many to take part in the festival in the 60s.

MESS was suspended at the breakout of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Festival’s administration, lead by one of the most distinctive theater directors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Haris Pašović, renamed the festival as International Theater and Film Festival MES Sarajevo and launched a cultural resistance to the siege in Sarajevo. At that time MESS produced performances by local artists, but also some directed by the likes of Peter Schumann and Susan Sontag. As a result of all the cultural activities during wartime, which were largely initiated or realised with the help of MESS, Sarajevo was nominated as a cultural centre of Europe.

In 1997, at the end of the siege, the institution was taken over by young theater workers lead by Dino Mustafić. The Festival was redefined with the aim of offering an international theater showcase of the most significant plays in the world. The first post-war edition included names such as Giorgio Strehler, Peter Schumann, Jozef Nadj and Frank Castorf. The festival, organised with a special type of enthusiasm and devotion, aiming at attracting younger generations to the theater, got a completely new audience structure, but at the same time retained the old one as well. The festival hosted some of the most prominent theater directors in the history of theater such as Peter Brook, Robert Wilson and Eugenio Barba, while fostering its experimental element and discovering young talents who would become global stars on the theater scene during the next several years.

The festival is held each autumn in Sarajevo, starting on the last Friday in September.

WHILE I WAS WAITING

by Mohammad Al Attar directed by Omar Abusaada Production: The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture / Festival d’Avignon Taim was brutally beaten under mysterious circumstances after crossing one of the security checkpoints widespread in Damascus. He was admitted to the hospital unconscious. The doctors informed his family that he was comatose. This tragic event compels the family members to face painful challenges and revelations, buried during the past years. After surviving their father’s death in 2000 and the scandal it revealed, the family seems unable to overcome the new shock of Taim’s coma without undergoing fundamental changes. Over the course of a year, Taim, still in a coma, observes the transformations in the lives of his family members and close friends – as well as those of his city, Damascus, which is becoming increasingly crueller and stranger. The coma is also the story of Syria today, a gray zone suspended between life and death, hope and despair.

WE ARE THE ONES THAT OUR PARENTS WARNED US ABOUT

by Tanja Šljivar directed by Mirjana Karanović Production: Bosnian National Theater Zenica

This is a drama that twists the concept of role-play, as well as all the other narrative techniques it uses, both the monologue and the dialogue, as well as the language itself, into their opposites, and demonstrates the impossibility of a simple attempt – to tell a story about one’s own live to an unknown person in the span of one night. In June, in a public toilet, Mara, a woman in her 40s, and Milan, still a teenager, celebrating his birthday that evening, (accidentally?) meet and attempt to tell each other about their own lives. They use random inscriptions on the toilet wall as triggers for memories, and the unreliability and volatility of any corporal, emotional, or mental memory are presented as the only truth one can tell about his/herself through four scenes in which they play the archetypal relations of mother-son, father-daughter, brother-sister, and lover-lover.

THE PATRIOTS

by Jovan Sterija Popović directed by András Urbán Production: National Theater Belgrade Sterija told his contemporaries the following: “Beware of those who never stop speaking about patriotism. Do not believe that loving one’s own nation means being blind to its faults and sins, and hate barbarically all people of other race and creed. Stay away from fatal self-delusions, and hate the lie with all your soul, because the truth is our first duty to our nation. Because, ultimately, the truth is the highest moral and the most powerful tool of progress.” The Patriots has special importance: it is a piece of strength and reason, a result of Sterija’s spiritual and literary maturity, a bitter satire of false and phraseology patriotism. A work of a witty spirit, an ironic observer and rational patriot and, as a socio-political representation of a period, it belongs, together with the best works of its kind, to Serbian literature.

FROG

by Dubravko Mihanović directed by Elmir Jukić Production: Chamber Theater ‘55 This is a story about each and every one of us, about the age of misunderstanding, loneliness and the pursuit of love and meaning. The play, with almost surgical precision, makes a diagnosis of the time we live in. Its characters are not able to cope with the transition and the change of values. The problems it addresses are the same or of fairly similar nature, be it in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia or Serbia. One of the main issues is the lack of communication and the inability to hear other people’s opinions. The play has an excellent point to it: we tend to blame others for the bad things that happen to us, failing to seek ways to change them ourselves. The bad quality of life and the situation we are in, make us place responsibility on the government, the system, our boss, the manager of the company we work in, the supervisor, the coach or the head of the team, and not ourselves.

It is important to get involved in our own destinies and stop feeling sorry for ourselves.

KATËR I RADËS. THE SHIPWRECK

by Alessandro Leogrande directed by Salvatore Tramacere Coproduction: Teatro Koreja and Venice Biennale Katër i Radës is not just an opera of the memory. It’s an effort to portray, though music, the universe of the people who were faced with one of the many tragedies in the Mediterranean: the one of a small Albanian boat overloaded with men, women and children, which sank in March 1997 by of the Italian coast. In a single act, there are cramped the Drowned and the Saved, those who survived and those who died, their voices, their thoughts, and especially their journey into the dark, full of great anxieties and small wishes, dreams and fears, digressions, apparitions, sudden recollections.

Performance time 45 minutes, in Italian/Albanian, surtitled in English 22 24

THREE WINTERS

by Tena Štivičić directed by Ivica Buljan Production: Croatian National Theatre Zagreb The drama follows the destinies of four generations of strong, all connected to one house. Tena Štivičić took a story from her own family as the starting point of her drama, inspired by the hard life of her great-grandmother who gave birth to an illegitimate child during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In the winter of 1945, as per the party decree, a mother and a daughter with her husband and a new-born baby girl move into the mansion of an NDH immigrant. The house should be empty, but it hides one remaining tenant and the mother’s old acquaintance. During the winter of 1990, the Kos family gathers in the same house after the funeral. It is the time just before the Homeland War, the new country is still in its infancy, and former divisions and old controversies are surfacing again. During the winter of 2011, a wedding is being prepared in the house and the Kos family is together once more. On the eve of joining the European Union, certain family chapters are being closed, and long silences are being broken, while the new powers guided by the ideology of capital determine the fate of the house in which years and memories are still being deposited.

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR?

directed by Haris Pašović Co-Production: East West Center Sarajevo, Theater Promena Novi Sad, Bosnian National Theater Zenica, UjvidekiShinhaz / Novi Sad Theater The idea for this performance was born during the acting master classes that Haris Pašović was giving at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad. The group was working on the theatrical portraits of several people who gave their lives for their ideas. Mr. Pašović asked the actors, all in their early 20s, what they would give their life for. When we put aside the family that most people would sacrifice their lives for, the question is whether there exists an idea or a project that we would give our lives for. That is how this extremely exciting process began, during which ideas, philosophies, beliefs were considered, and, in parallel, new theatrical forms were also investigated. Ours is the age of Universal Communication, which changes the paradigm of our communication. Who are the identities that communicate in virtual space? The storytellers in this performance are the entities behind the IP addresses. It is less important who and where they are, than what they are saying. Their identities communicate in a virtual intellectual space and time. People they talk about appear and emerge in a mental space of a group of identities that communicate. Each identity has access to the totality of the story, follows it, and co-constructs it with their own contribution. This may sound complicated, but it is not. It is a contemporary discourse that goes beyond the traditional dramaturgical forms, as they are insufficient for the new paradigm we live in.

Performance time 2 hours, in Bosnian, surtitled in English 24 26

9th October, 18:00 | Youth Theater Sarajevo

WHAT IS EUROPE?

by László Végel directed by András Urbán Production: Scene MESS Europe is a utopia. We often associate to its name cultural, historic, and humanistic values, the rule of law, appreciation and importance of quality life. The road to Europe is an imaginary road to a better tomorrow and a happier future. However, that future cannot be seen on the horizon.

Perhaps some of us secretly desire that the global political changes will bring about the breakup of the European Union, in a similar fashion they brought about the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1980s. But Europe will not break up. It may transform and reshape itself, embracing new, but not necessarily positive values. The far right sees the settlement of Europe by non-Europeans as an assault on European identity. Fear. Radical actions.

Terror. Defence. The desire for integration is questionable, as is the possibility of such a community to succeed. The rules are clear: if you live here, you live by our laws. The rules are not clear. There is no integration.

There is only assimilation or failure. Life changes, and the world does too.

What is Europe? is a question. What is Europe? is an answer. There is no ultimate victory. The unburied corpse of Yugoslavia is staring at us folks populating the border areas of the Barbaricum.

OUR VIOLENCE AND YOUR VIOLENCE

directed by Oliver Frljić Production: Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc Rijeka / Slovenian Youth Theater Ljubljana The play observes Europe naively stunned by the refugee crisis, a Europe which willingly forgets its colonial past, and, as willingly, closes its borders to thousands who run from the consequences of the American and European politics. The 20th century seems like it has persistently worked on encouraging national narcissisms, which taught one mass that it is better than the others. The 21st century continues with the same lessons, using one infallible weapon: fear. The image of a strong, bright Europe is eroded by a growing paranoia, and we receive the message from every corner: you are no longer safe, anywhere. The fear is, indeed, the safest prerequisite for hatred. Are we aware that our prosperity depends of thousands of deaths in the Middle East? During one of the world’s greatest crises after World War II, should we proudly call ourselves Europeans, or should we be ashamed of Europe? Are we ready to bear the consequences of the hundred-year long European domination? Do we mourn the same for the victims of terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, as for those in Baghdad? At what moment did we start believing that we are the masters of truth, and that our God is more powerful than other Gods? And where are we, the audience, in all this, while we cry in a dimly-lit hall, watching scenes of fiction, yet we remain indifferent at the sight of real people in refugee camps?

EINSTEIN’S DREAMS

by Alan Lightman and Rusomir Bogdanovski directed by Slobodan Unkovski Production: National Theater Vojdan Černodinski Prilep The performance looks at various aspects of time, and displays its relativity through an array of playful worlds. In some of those worlds time flows backwards, while in others it is circular.

Sometimes it flies, other times it does not flow at all. To some people life lasts only for a day, and to others for an eternity. In some of those worlds life repeats itself countless times, while in others it divides in several parallel directions. The inhabitants of these worlds leave the impression of being parts of some strange mechanism, or some kind of puppets who are able to move, speak and act, but instead of acting in accordance with their own will, they are controlled by their master – the Time. There are moments when we can feel their desperate attempts to take their destiny in their own hands, and to seize time. However, time is always beyond reach, and sets its own rules. Some may recognize parts of themselves in these unreal characters, or images of their life and their reality, in this patchwork of different worlds.

Performance time 2 hours, in Macedonian, surtitled in English 29 27

TO SEE IN SARAJEVO In Sarajevo you can find traces of the Neolithic Butmir Culture, Illyrians, Romans, Slavs, as well as remains representing the medieval Bosnian Kingdom, the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Socialistic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Over the past 100 years, Sarajevo has found itself a member of six different states and has witnessed the Sarajevo Assassination, the First and Second World Wars, the XIV Winter Olympic Games, and the longest-running siege of any town in modern history.

Sarajevo is steeped in history and is always eager to share its many fascinating stories with visitors.

For several hundred years, the borders of two great empires, the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian, which represented the two poles of the world at that time – East and West, Islamic and Christian – met in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This made the country and its capital a crossroads for different worlds – a place where Orient met Occident in the heart of the Balkans.

Sarajevo is one of those rare cities where, during a ten-minute walk, you can see places of worship for the world’s most important monotheistic religions: Orthodox and Catholic churches, synagogues and mosques. All of these traditions have given Sarajevo a specific aroma and a particular cultural mix.

The best way to take in nearly all of Sarajevo’s attractions is on foot, as most of them are only a few kilometers from one another.

It is also the best way to discover the charm of the narrow streets in the old part of town, as well as the beauty of Sarajevo’s many façades, which are decorated with fascinating bas-reliefs.
