The Handke Project: Italian premiere at Mittelfest
On July 23, our show The Handke Project will be performed at Teatro Adelaide Ristori in Italy as part of the 31st edition of Mittelfest.
The Italian premiere of our show - an open critique to Peter Handke, the Nobel Prize for Literature laureate who is known for his controversial positions as a denier of the genocide in Srebrenica - coincides with the 27th anniversary of the genocide against 8372 Bosniak civilians in Srebrenica.
The Handke Project is a theatrical performance about the writer who with his books and opinions has fabricated and overturned facts of the wars in former Yugoslavia; has incited and supported ‘the scorched earth’ ideology; as well as managed to sing praises to militant poets and filmmakers converted into ‘engineers of genocidal projects.’
