The performance is part of the public program of the STECCI exhibition, which explores the unique cultural heritage of medieval tombstones (stećci) through poetry, artifacts, and participatory art.
Directed by Davor Pavić, actor and lecturer at UMAS, the performance features 2nd-year acting students:
Nikolina Domuzin, Mirela Banić, Luka Tino Šajin, Laura Jurišić, Elena Bukvić, Leon Macanović.
They interpret poetry and stories inspired by symbols engraved on stećci, drawing from Mak Dizdar’s iconic poetry collection Stone Sleeper.
Audience participation is encouraged in this immersive artistic experience bridging past and present.
