Set against the collapse of Yugoslavia, Sarajevo is a powerful and haunting story of friendship, love, and the devastating human cost of war. As violence erupts, childhood friends are torn apart by fear, survival, and betrayal. Before the siege, Mirela, Aleksander, and Slobo were inseparable. They shared the same streets, the same dreams, and the same future. But as Yugoslavia descends into conflict, fear, nationalism, and ideology slowly tear their world apart. What breaks them is not one act of violence, but countless small fractures — silences, suspicions, and impossible choices.
Meanwhile, a South African photographer documenting the conflict finds the line between observer and participant beginning to blur.
Intimate, gripping, and emotionally charged, Sarajevo is not simply a play about war. It is a story about identity, loyalty, betrayal, and how easily ordinary people can be divided.
A haunting theatrical experience that lingers long after the final curtain.
Because theatre remembers, what history forgets.
