| THE TIME TUNNEL | ||||
Three students (two men and a girl) venture into the “Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun”, in search of evidence that will either prove or refute the theory of Bosnia as the cradle of civilization. And so begins their journey through time and through the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. What had at first seemed like a mere hollow in the slope of a hill is suddenly transformed into a time tunnel, a tunnel which always leads into a different section of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The meet the likes of Ivan de Kazamaris, Alija Sirotanović, Gavrilo Princip, Bašeskija, Aleksa Šantić (and even his Emina), as well as Ćorović, Valter Perić, Branislav Nušić, the soldiers that worked under the runway of Sarajevo's airport... Through these different encounters, they discover that, while the circumstances and the characters might be different, the essence of Bosnia’s political instability remains the same throughout the ages, and that this instability is, in an equal extent, a consequence of both international influence and aspiration, as well as of local indifference and lack of education. The situation and personalities they confront affect our heroes as well, and they begin to wonder how much they themselves are victims of inherited suffering and misconception, and how much they are in fact contributing to the ethical and political collapse of their native country. This play was written and directed primarily for the younger generations, with a hope and a wish that they will recognize its story as “their own”, if not for its political effort in the breaking of epic, patriarchal and ideological stereotypes, then certainly for the humour that is interwoven in this “journey”. The play premiered on 19 April 2007. Awards received: 1. 2007 Pozorišne igre u Jajcu (Jajce Theatre Games) Awards: 2. The 12th Jugoslovenski festival (Yugoslav Festival) in Užice, 2007: 3.

| THE CNN CHILDREN | ||||
By a stroke of coincidence, or a twist of fate, the children Dino and Dora appear on CNN, in several news shows, at the time of the horrific wartime destruction of the city of Vukovar, and after the events the enfolded in Srebrenica. (Dora was the little girl in tears in the “Vukovar procession”, filmed just before the fall of the city, while Dino was one in a mass of terrified children receiving candy from gruff soldiers before the fall of Srebrenica.) Then, ten years later, in Zagreb, again by coincidence or fate, the two, now young, people meet. Although strongly affected by their conflicting cultures, embedded in them in childhood, they become close and develop a friendship in a strange way, struggling to stifle the horrific events of their youth and the loss of their loved ones, and cease being outsiders in the pragmatic world, all the while looking for their place under the Zagreb sky. Despite all their efforts to forget, to look at life from its brighter side, and despite all the wealth of spirit and soul that simply gushes from their dialogues, they, in their memories and everyday events, once again walk along the horrific paths of their childhood, bearing the consequences of their isolation and their inability to find their way in the unfeeling world that goes on regardless of them.... Crying out because of coincidence or fate, both of which have marked their solitary lives, and striving to construct their own philosophies of life, they refuse to admit defeat, and, in their own way, go on themselves...

| WARRIORS’ SQUARE | ||||
FIVE LETTERS ACROSS, THE FIFTH LETTER IS AN “R” I sometimes think that it would be nice if the effort of writing resembled the skill of painting, and I envy those who can place a model before themselves, and without even looking at it, convey it onto the canvas (or paper), one detail after another, in the manner of old masters. But what does one place before oneself when one wants to paint, or write about war, for example? What to dip one’s quill into? Into a few metaphors, a couple of quotations, a curse or two? Does one succeed? Of course not! One’s model keeps moving, becomes unattainable, and all you have on paper are very often only slogans, and images or tales repeated a myriad times. Instead of offering us a “sketch of a war”, in “Warriors’ Square“, Nick Wood presents us with an incredibly precise portrait of the victims of war. He forces us to poke fun at our own knowledge (or lack thereof), to re-examine once again the frequently used, but seldom born out definition found in crossword puzzles, that war is “a conflict between two or more beleaguered sides”. Wood’s characters and narrators are children, and they simply do not fit into this naive definition. They are the victims, and their perishing a “process”, and not a mere fleeting unfortunate moment, which is what one might assume from the word „conflict“, offered by the „scientific account“ of the concept of war. Our naiveté, which some might call goodness, compels us to witness in disbelief that even a science on the subject, given the name VICTIMOLOGY, was recently established. Believe it or not, the science studies “victims, and the ways in which men can become victims”. I presume that there must a million such ways, but I know for a fact that Nick Wood portrayed one of these ways masterfully well. Living in this region, we have had to study victimology and related “sciences”, and unfortunately, our knowledge did not come from books. This production is an opportunity to brush up on what we know, and to recognize that most of us have a fear of “revising” this knowledge. We are, in fact, tested on it every day. THEREFORE, WISH US LUCK! Awards received: 1. Pozorišne igre u Jajcu (Jajce Theatre Games) 2005: 2. The "Actor of Europe" International Festival, Macedonia 2005: 3.
