In Pašović’s Bosnian reworking, the neglected classroom is in postwar Sarajevo and the six boys become a mixed group of seven teenagers. Their confrontations include accounts of poverty after a father’s wartime killing, attraction to Islamic extremism, and anti-Serb abuse, alongside the original play’s themes of violence and social neglect.
A 75-minute theatrical collage of words and images draws on Miroslav Krleža’s essay: an actor recites his words, a dancer embodies the arguments, and Laibach performs radically reimagined European national anthems.
This Sarajevo reworking of A Doll’s House places Nora and Torvald in a wealthy modern marriage. Their lives are disrupted when Christine returns and, with her lover Helene Krogstad, uses blackmail to climb the social ladder; Dr. Rank confesses his love for Nora as Torvald faces financial crisis.
