\nFabbrica Europa 2014<\/strong>
\nXXI edition<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Balkans, the twentieth century was a time of new start-outs. And it is symptomatic that one short century – there on the Adriatic
\n(a sort of inland lake in our historical memory) – began and ended in Sarajevo: a pistol shot became a long cycle of dramatic wars.
\nThat was the twentieth century!
\nA century of new start-outs, for after the shot in Sarajevo had toppled the world into its first global war, the West tried to start again
\nfrom scratch – yet it always ended up entangled in horrors, conflicts, differences without further soluble. Until the last war, which destroyed
\nthe illusion of irregular socialism and which many saw as the final act of a disintegration commencing with the fall of
\nthe Hapsburg empire. And we had to set out once more from there: from the bloody ruins of shattered illusions: both the Empire’s
\naristocratic\/enlightened illusion and Tito’s popular\/bureaucratic one. New starts: that is the keynote of the lesson that reaches us
\ntoday from ex-Yugoslavia.
\nAlthough no-one can now claim to have lived through the whole, almost century-long travail, unquestionably this element
\n(the mandate to overcome a twentieth-century mind-set) is solidly grounded in the collective imagination of the Balkans. First and
\nforemost, it is a vast territory of young<\/em> nations, forced by this very reason to fashion their new identities on the basis of
\ndistant memories. This explains the vitality we have seen in Balkan culture for at least the past ten years. Tradition and new creation:
\nfor them, this is practically an obligation! And in this umpteenth start-out the theatre plays an essential role: do you know anything more
\ntraditional and at the same time more open to new creativity than the theatre? Do you know anything stronger than the theatre
\nin taking root in common consciousness to construct new imagination spaces? No, of course not. That is why observation of the Balkan
\ntheatre, today, leads us directly onto the crossroads where the “old” twentieth century starts out for the future.<\/p>\n
