Sarajevo Story, at the Lyric Hammersmith Studio
Would anyone like to see Lightwork's latest show, Sarajevo Story, at the Lyric Hammersmith Studio, London, from 26 February - 15 March?
Sarajevo Story is a devised multimedia piece and interweaves a number of elements. Its main narrative concerns an American couple - a judge serving in the Bosnian war crimes court in Sarajevo, and her husband, a sound designer based in London and making a major sound installation for the Prague Quadrennial. They meet regularly in cities that are a flight from each of London and Sarajevo - Budapest, Prague, Vienna... Their work leads to opportunities and discoveries that will test their relationship to breaking point.
Their daughter is about to marry an Irishman. The wedding is planned for a barn in Vemont. There are difficulties along the way.
The judge's Bosnian taxi driver tells stories about Sarajevo.
Drawing on verbatim witness testimony, a series of scenes trace one of the cases concerning the Bosnian conflict, handled by the international court in which the judge serves.
And the patron saints of actors, lawyers, travellers, lost causes and sudden death weave fleetingly through the piece.
Sarajevo Story features hyper-naturalist performance (in which a number of conversations are mediated by communications technologies), direct address, balkan dance, and all-through sound and video designs.
It deals with personal betrayals, conflict between those who are inseparable, the business of speaking/testifying/bearing witness/telling stories, the machinery of justice, the contingencies of love and truth, in an international setting. It is funded by ACE both for its R&D (last year) and London run.
