DAH Theatre: A Sourcebook is a collection of essays about the work
of one of the most successful and innovative performance groups in
contemporary history. With a direct line of descent from Jerzy
Grotowski and Eugenio Barba, DAH Theatre, founded during the worst
of times in the former Yugoslavia, amidst a highly patriarchal
society, predominantly run by women, has thrived now for
twenty-five years. The chapters in this book, for the most part,
have been written by both theatre scholars and practitioners, all
of whom have either seen, studied with or worked with this
groundbreaking troupe. What makes DAH so exceptional? The levels of
innovation and passion for them extend far beyond the world of mere
performance. They have been politically and socially driven by the
tragedies and injustices that they have witnessed within their
country and have worked hard to be a force of reconciliation,
equity and peace within the world. And those efforts, which began
on the dangerous streets of Belgrade in 1991, today, have reached
throughout the world. Though they still make their home in Serbia,
audiences from as far afield as New Zealand, Mongolia, Brazil and
the U.S. have discovered their power - both in purely aesthetic
terms and as passionate activists.
