The story

Bugojno Theatre Festival in Bugojno

Bugojno's June theatre festival, known as FEDRA, has run continuously since 1959 and stands as the oldest theatre festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina, bringing touring companies from across the country and region to perform over a run of consecutive evenings. It draws theatre professionals and regional critics as much as a general audience, and rewards visitors more interested in the country's postwar cultural continuity than in spectacle.

Bugojno's theatre festival traces its opening night back to 1959, when it began as a gathering of amateur stage companies from across Bosnia and Herzegovina and later took the name FEDRA.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few Bosnian cultural events can claim continuous programming stretching back to 1959, making FEDRA's survival through the Yugoslav era, the 1990s war and the postwar period itself part of the draw

02

The mystery stays covered

The same cultural center also runs a separate, similarly long-running puppet-theatre festival each autumn, so Bugojno effectively hosts two distinct national-level theatre events under one roof across the year rather than one

03

The city starts moving

Performances are staged entirely indoors in the center's own hall, giving the evenings a formal theatre-going structure rather than festival-ground informality
