25 Glasses of Wine: A Lecture by Dijana Milošević

25 Glasses of Wine unites its audience with Dah Theatre director, Dijana Milošević, as she curates stories from her group’s 25 year history.

Her memories range from the present, back to a time when her society lacked the vocabulary to resist bigotry and nationalism.Dah’s theatre of the personal became political by confronting the official reorganisation of life according to narratives of fear and hatred. Their accomplishment is to create community around a vocabulary of lived resistance. Milošević’s shared experiences – embodied, keenly observant, and compassionate – emphasise humanity, and illuminate the senselessness of the past and today.

The work explores issues faced by theatre makers in global contexts, with particular focus on storytelling and narrative as a healing medium for past trauma. This lecture/performance aims to uncover and articulate how theatre and drama may be used as an instrument of social and political change and make connections between art workers and other actors in peacebuilding processes.
