The play is part of the “Power of Memory” project, which deals with post-traumatic memory, preserved by family members, related to missing persons from their immediate environment.
Dreams and Obstacles (2012)
The form of the “Dreams and Obstacles” performance is an experiment, i.e. a combination of autobiographical performance and work demonstration, dealing with the theme of “becoming” an artist and following the development of a dream and its realization on stage. Historical events of our country are reflected through the personal stories of artists, influencing and changing the course of development of young performers, and in that combination of personal “small” and official “big” history, they come into being.
Gently, Gently, More Gently (2011)
A concert – performance by DAH Theater in collaboration with the Secondhanders group deals with the theme of nostalgia and its impact on the cultural scene in the former Yugoslavia…
CODE Nastasijević (2010)
In its new performance, DAH Theatre deals with the famous Nastasijević family and explores the spiritual legacy that this family left to our culture. The performance illuminates the artistic and cultural milieu of interwar bourgeois Serbia, while simultaneously projecting a powerful artistic vision.
Two Grandmothers, Four Cats and a Scooter (2009)
The authors of the play, Sanja Krsmanović Tasić and Maja Mitić, long-time actresses of DAH Theater, in a humorous and warm way, through the language of theater and art, send children and their parents a message about the beauty of relationships with animals and the importance of growing up with pets, about developing responsibility and caring for others, about the ability to love, grieve, rejoice…
Crossing the Line (2009)
The performance “Crossing the Line” is based on texts from the book “The Women’s Side of War” published by the activist group Women in Black (2007). The book is a collection of authentic testimonies of women about the wars that were fought on the territory of the former Yugoslavia from 1991-1999.
Searching for the City (2007)
A collaboration between DAH Theatre and Fragment Theatre from Switzerland. By creating a theatre performance precisely on the ruins of the library on Kosančićev venac, our idea is to shed light on the “hidden walls,” i.e. on the hidden history, to make it transparent and in that way transform both our city and our fellow citizens. The story of the bombed library is also a story about erasing the memory of a nation, as well as severing ties with the universal spiritual values that make up every library. Our desire is to use this performance to re-establish the broken thread of memory as well as the broken ties with the world.
Guide Through Alternative History of Belgrade (2006)
As part of its fifth international acting and directing school, DAH Theatre is producing the performance “Guide Through Alternative History of Belgrade.” The performance was performed at specific points in the inner city center – in Bezistan, the park on Republic Square, in front of the Central Military Club, in the University Park next to Studentski Trg, and on the Great Stairs at Kalemegdan.
The Story of Tea (2006)
This DAH Theater play takes A.P. Chekhov’s classic drama “Three Sisters” as its starting point. This drama serves as a reference point, a framework that holds together different stories and themes. The central theme of the play – the train that will finally take the sisters to the place of their dreams – Moscow, or the situation of missed opportunities and squandered chances, inspired and provoked several important themes that “Three Sisters” of DAH Theater deal with.
In/Visible City (2005)
The main goal of the “In/Visible City” project was to make the multiethnic structure of cities in Serbia and the richness of different ethnic cultures more visible. To rediscover what exists and has been a part of our culture for centuries but has become hidden.
Alice and Kafka are Dead/Long Live the Rosenbergs (2005)
How to solve a problem like Ethel Rosenberg? Or Alice in Wonderland? Both are sentenced to death, one in a fairy tale, the other in real life. Great trials and great literary works meet in this co-production, which explores what the background of these and other stories about the death penalty from both cultures have in common. As today’s headlines show, an exciting trial is the best theatre.
Cirque Macabre (2002)
Using the form of a dark circus, this performance deals with the theme of violence. The characters that make up the “circus acts” are artists/visionaries who have marked our time and who are playing a dark tango with their persecutors.
Dancing with Darkness (2002)
The first solo performance of DAH Theater in which the actress Sanja Krsmanović Tasić, dealing with the reasons for the loss of the old play “The Case of Helen Keller”, deals with the meaning of loss in general: loss of senses, loss of country, loss of the ability to perceive reality in a generally accepted way, loss of identity.
Inner Mandala (2002)
Lecture/performance by actress Maja Mitić, where she talks about the healing power of theater, showing parts from plays in which she has played from 1991 to the present.
Documents of Time (1999)
The performance was created in Belgrade in the period May-June 1999, during the bombing of our country by NATO forces. It is a testimony about the reality that is melting before us. The impossibility of capturing a time, the need for another kind of record and witness.
Maps of Forbidden Memory (2001)
A co-production of DAH Theatre and “7 Stages” theatre from Atlanta (USA). The play deals with the story of emigrants, a topic that is one of the burning issues in Yugoslavia today. Is it possible for an artist to create outside of their country? What are the consequences of such a decision?

The Case of Helen Keller (1998)
Through moments from the biography of Helen Keller, the famous deaf-blind American writer and fighter for human rights, a story unfolds about the need for communication, about the need to touch the OTHER. Meeting in different planes of time, imaginary and historical characters dance their dance with darkness, turning their hopeful gaze towards the century to come.
Memory of Angels (1996)
