In 1993, Muslim woman Admira Ismi\u0107 and Orthodox Christian Bo\u0161ko Brki\u0107 tried to escape the besieged Sarajevo but were killed by a sniper just a few meters from the border. Despite the opposition of both families, two Americans \u2014 photographer Mark H. Milstein and journalist Kurt Schork \u2014 dubbed the couple the &#8220;Sarajevo Romeo and Juliet,&#8221; turning the tragic death of these two young people into a sensational story, and their lifeless bodies into an image and a symbol of love cut short by war. The photograph, therefore, conceals a series of unanswered questions about how the public reacts to such images, and whether some stories, some lives, are considered more important than others. Beyond the frame of this specific image, it raises a broader question of war photography: its purpose, its aim, its ethics, its effectiveness, and its ability to shock today. When torn between glorifying the violence of war and warning of its horrors, it finds itself in a position similar to that of theatre \u2014 speaking of something that cannot be expressed in words.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Cast<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Primo\u017e Bezjak<br \/>\nNata\u0161a Keser<br \/>\nBoris Kos<br \/>\nKaja Petrovi\u0107 \/ Da\u0161a Dober\u0161ek (jump)<br \/>\nStane Tomazin<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Creators<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Director: \u017diva Bizovi\u010dar<br \/>\nDramaturgy: Nik \u017dnidar\u0161i\u010d<br \/>\nSet and Video Design: Dorian \u0160ilec Petek<br \/>\nCostume Design: Nina \u010cehovin<br \/>\nMusic and Sound Design: Ga\u0161per Lovrec<br \/>\nLighting Design: Andrej Hajdinjak<br \/>\nLanguage Editing: Mateja Dermelj<br \/>\nGraffiti: Dorijan \u0160i\u0161ko<br \/>\nStage Manager: Ur\u0161a \u010cerv<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"bg-primary w-full aspect-video\"><iframe class=\"w-full aspect-video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AmjrC2dQWpY?feature=oembed\" allowfullscreen> frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
