U Ime Oca / In the Name of the Father (2019)

U IME OCA / IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER had its World Premiere on 20th March 2019, at Tuzla National Theatre in Bosnia. The Docu-dance-theatre production was conceived, directed and choreographed by Darrel Toulon (Austria), with music by Donika Rudi (Kosovo) and Songs written and performed by Norbert Wally (Austria). The script was devised with the cast of young Actors from Tuzla, using transcriptions of Interviews made with Bosnian Children Born of War.

U IME OCA / IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER is situated at the crossroads of performative community arts and politically relevant immersive theatre, informed by academic research. It capitalizes on the theatre as a forum for dialogue by breaking through the 4th wall and inviting interaction and conversation between audience and performers, 2 of whom are Children Born of War themselves.
