Summary/Abstract: In describing the 57th International Theatre Festival MESS in Sarajevo, the author singles out three plays: Dorothée Munyaneza’s Unwanted, Mdlsx by the Modus Theatre Company, as well as Mai Pelević and Olga Dimitrijević’s Sloboda je najskupja kapitalistička riječ. She also mentions two Bosnian productions: Selma Spahić’s My Factory and Harisa Pašovicia’s Otkrivanje žene. In the backdrop of socio-political transformations and armed conflicts, she reads them as an attempt to define a country’s identity and notes the viewers’ reaction. The author wonders if the playwrights of Bosnian Theatre, which has been engaged with the past for the past two decades, should not pose new questions and look for different forms.
