Balkans: On Trial Together-Athens Episode

Ana Vujanović: Belgrade, Serbia / Hamburg-Berlin, Germany
Saša Asentić: Novi Sad, Serbia / Berlin, Germany

This hybrid public spectacle from two important figures on the independent Balkan scene combines elements of a play, a choreography, a social game and a happening. Democracy and propaganda, public dialogue and collectivity are some of the subjects addressed in a playful political performance which puts members of the audience up on stage.
