War and Post-War Theatre in Sarajevo

This chapter offers a glimpse into remarkable cultural events during the siege of Sarajevo and their impact on Sarajevans trapped in the city. The focus is on the extraordinary collaboration between local artists and foreign cultural ambassadors and celebrities who visited Sarajevo during the war. Together they created an art scene that flourished under the most difficult circumstances. War and post-war art scenes are analysed in the context of approaches to adaptations of literary sources for the stage.
