The Mostar Youth Theatre is a unique arts organization in that it consciously brings together young people from all different ethnicities in the divided city of Mostar, Bosnia-Hercegovina. The company was our guest at the first CAL Festival in November 2006, where they performed their version of Antigone. Director Sead Dulic recognized strong parallels between the ancient greek tragedy of Antigone and the (post-)war situation in his native Bosnia. Neighbours, friends and colleagues lost sight of each other during that conflict and its aftermath. Within one and the same family, one brother fought on the Bosnian side, while another routed for the Croatians or Serbs. Corpses in the street could not be buried, just like Antigone’s brother.
