The in:vzbl Festival, organized by the Basca Theatre, brought six shows from Serbia, Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria to Timișoara, Romania in October 2025 and November 2025 specifically to draw attention to life and struggles in rural communities.
The six shows featured interactive performances, forum theatre, stories with ecological themes, and social documentaries with the intention that invisible voices can be expressed in a safe space, hidden problems become visible, individual trauma is transformed into collective healing, and where social isolation is diminished.
"U Potrazi Za Domom" / "Seeking Home" (Mikser, Serbia)
"Seeking Home", inspired by Jelena Vladušić's doctoral thesis, uses photographs as a window into the stories of those who crossed the Balkans in search of a new life. In these images, we see not only migrants, but traces of longing, strength, and questions we all carry with us: Where do we belong? What is home? The stories of women, men, and children are translated into a powerful theatrical experience, performed by two actresses who take on multiple roles in a space that changes before the audience's eyes.
"Seeking Home"
Dramatization, direction, and stage design by Anđelka Nikolić
Actors: Andrijana Dragnić and Jana Dekanski
