The Flowers of Srebrenica

Blending physical theatre, devising, and animated projections, The Flowers of Srebrenica reimagines the narrative of Aidan, a professor and Balkan expert from Ireland, on his first visit to Srebrenica.

He arrives in Bosnia-Herzegovina armed with academic knowledge, but by the time he leaves, his certainties are shattered. A cast of women storytellers who are survivors and witness to war create a chorus to frame the piece and draws parallels with current atrocities across the world, challenge the audience to confront their complicity in historical violence and ask what it means to look at another country’s trauma from the outside.
