Festival of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Drama Zenica in Zenica

A juried festival of new Bosnian and Herzegovinian drama hosted by Zenica's Bosnian National Theatre since 2002, showcasing a curated shortlist of the year's notable regional productions over about a week. It runs entirely within the theatre's own halls rather than across multiple venues, making it a compact, single-site event aimed at a serious theatre audience rather than casual tourists.

The Festival of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Drama has run out of Zenica's Bosnian National Theatre (BNP) since 2002, built specifically around new and recent drama written in the region's own languages rather than an international touring program.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than staging international guest productions, the festival exists specifically to shortlist and showcase new Bosnian and Herzegovinian drama, with a selector reviewing a year's worth of regional theatre and choosing which productions make the week's program

02

The mystery stays covered

It has run continuously since 2002 from a single home venue, the Bosnian National Theatre in Zenica, giving it an unusually stable, single-site format compared with festivals that rotate across cities or halls

03

The city starts moving

Its location in an industrial city rather than a capital also means visitors encounter a working provincial theatre scene rather than a festival built primarily around tourism
