A story of the search for truth, justice and hope through three generations of women.
On the 30th Anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide, New Vic Borderlines, in partnership with Holocaust Centre North, the University of Huddersfield’s Centre for Archaeology, Remembering Srebrenica and Bradford City of Culture present ‘My Thousand Year Old Land (BiH)’.
Based on survivor testimonies from the genocide and war crimes that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, this play brings together the beauty, music and culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina to audiences, telling a story of the search for truth, justice and hope through the women whose lives are changed by the deaths of their communities’ men.
What does it mean to have roots, to feel the connection of the land, mountains, rivers, trees; where deep song, music and poetry beats as your heart and the blood in your veins flows like a timeless river through a land for centuries?
And then, hate spills into the soil, the trees, the rivers. What new songs can be sung and verses made?
Before reconciliation comes acknowledgment, before hope, truth.
Written by Aida Haughton MBE and Sue Moffat.
