VR technology was used for the first time in the BH theater. The play StećakLand, which we did in co-production with Kamerni teatar 55, was a great success. In the invitation to the show, they say:
“”Do you know your story? That, when someone asks about you – what will they say? What stories are left behind? Does the truth remain, or the good wishes of the tearful relatives? When all the veils fall away, all the colorful lies with which we deceive ourselves and everyone around us, building an image of ourselves as we think it should look, and when we completely strip ourselves of all romanticized versions of ourselves, who is the person looking at us in the mirror? STEĆAKLAND invites you to step into a space where titles, awards, achievements and memories crumble before the chains of truth. And the truth… it always has multiple versions, even though it’s only one. They have been standing for centuries, and now they will speak – find out what the stećci have to tell us. Welcome to STEĆAKLAND, a bold and innovative theatre performance that combines contemporary theatre with virtual reality, taking us to the very limits of identity, memory and myth. Who was Katarina Kosača, for many the last Bosnian queen? Do we know? Does she know? What is her truth”, said Vedran Fajković, playwright and acting director of Kamerni Teatar 55.
