Miss Sara Jevo

In the organizer's words:

She lives as part of the queer community in Germany, but her home was Yugoslavia, a country that no longer exists. The question of how these worlds can be connected takes drag queen Sara Jevo back to Sarajevo, the city of her birth.

Sarajevo was once considered the cultural hub of Yugoslavia, which for many was an attempt to live a social utopia of diversity, solidarity and independence. But ethno-nationalist aspirations brought this utopia to an end and covered the region in cruel wars, which also forced Sara Jevo's family to flee to Germany. Now she is returning - in drag.

What does it mean to return home as someone else? And what does home actually mean when both it and we ourselves are constantly changing? Following her successful debut "Orlando", director Milo Čortanovački brings a touching solo between documentary research and glamorous drag show to the stage with ensemble member Sandro Šutalo alias Sara Jevo. "Miss Sara Jevo" poses the complex question of one's own identity as an act of liberation and reclaiming one's own history.
