★ A very powerful and emotive play

SSet in the indescribably savage Bosnian War, this is the moving tale of one boy’s search for his missing parents.

Penned by Dutch playwright Ad de Bont, and translated into English by Marian Buijs, Mirad, a Boy from Bosnia, is a moving account of the refugees from the Bosnian Civil War of 1992-1995. They are coping with survival after having seen the worst.

Though the play has as its central character a young boy Mirad, who has witnessed the war and lost both his father and his little sister to it, Ad de Bont skillfully hands over the narration to Mirad’s aunt Fazila and uncle Djuka, refugees themselves, who read out his letters and diary as well as relate events and incidents from the war.

His brilliant use of images, metaphors and the oblique point of view work beautifully to evoke empathy for the many characters who are collaged together in Fazila and Djuka’s exchanges and the gory accounts of genocide, rape and torture.

A very powerful and emotive play told by husband and wife Djuka and Fazila, the uncle and aunt of Mirad. They tell the story as refugee’s in Amsterdam about the political fighting in Bosnia between the Serbs, Croats and Muslims and how Sarajevo a once thriving city became a warzone.

Of how Mirad a young 13 year old boy who tells of what happens to his family, from massacres, beatings and missing persons and how he has to suddenly “wake up” to the politics of his country and all the danger that it entails.
