Liberation of Sarajevo

The plot of the play “Liberation of Sarajevo”, based on the text “Liberation of Skopje” by Dušan Jovanović and directed by Haris Pašović, is set in an occupied but unconquered Sarajevo.

We witness the occupation through the lens of a Sarajevo family and their struggle to survive. Hunger and terror reign; deportations of civilians to concentration camps are ongoing. We follow the horrific atrocities committed by the occupiers and local traitors. We follow a group of children growing up in the horrors of war. We follow the network of the underground resistance movement. We follow the unbreakable fight for freedom. We follow the liberation of Sarajevo.

The performance is intended for audiences 16 years and older.
