Nataša Novaković, PR and organizer.
When the war started in Yugoslavia in 1991, DAH Teatar faced fundamental questions: “What is the responsibility and duty of an artist in dark times, in times of violence and human suffering?” “Will there be singing in dark times?
Yes, there will be singing about dark times.” – B. Brecht
Being a non-governmental organization in this country has been a great challenge in recent years. The members of DAH Teatar continue to strongly oppose war and violence through their work and behavior.
DAH Teatar believes that theater has the power to communicate interculturally and represents a unique tool that enables different voices to be heard. Theater establishes communication between different nations, people and histories.
“We can only oppose destruction and violence in the modern world by creating meaning” – is DAH Teatar’s motto even today.
