The Association “Forgotten Children of War” proudly announces the performance of the documentary-dance production “In the Name of the Father”, a powerful artistic project that opens important social questions of identity, silence, and resilience.
“In the Name of the Father” is a profound exploration of identity, silence, and resilience. This documentary dance performance brings raw, authentic testimonies of children born as a result of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the stage. Through a fusion of contemporary movement and lived experience, the performance examines the margins of our society, breaks decades of stigma, and gives a powerful voice to those who have for too long remained invisible. This is more than a performance; it is a call for acknowledgement and a tribute to the human spirit and its capacity to seek the truth.
