Bolero, Sarajevo or shortened Bolero is the name of a theatre show produced by the East West Theatre Company from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Tala Dance Center from Croatia[1]. Authors, choreographer Tamara Curic from Zagreb, Croatia and director Haris Pasovic, created a dance performance in which Sarajevo and the reminiscences on Maurice Béjart are in interaction.[2] They were largely inspired by the flux of Sarajevo, Ravel’s music and Béjartesque swinging bodies. Performance included dancers from Zagreb who regularly collaborate with the TALA Dance Centre, actors of the East West Theatre Company from Sarajevo, and the members of the Sarajevo National Theatre’s Ballet Company[3].
Haris Pasovic, Sarajevo theater director and drama professor at the Academy of Performing Arts, injected this predominately dance production, with occasional humorous monologues, in which the people of Sarajevo tell intimate stories about their post-war lives[4].
Bolero, Sarajevo opened international gathering of choreographers, dance artists and groups "Platforma" in Zagreb in 2009[5]. Prior to that it was also performed in Zagreb's Dance Center Tala on April 6, 2009[6][7].
