– “The Sound of the Olympic Spark ’24” (ZOI ’24), i.e. the second part of the triptych “Planeta Sarajevo”, to the music of John Williams, was conceived as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Winter Olympic Games held in Sarajevo. I want to emphasize that the city had its golden age, and through the memory of the past I want to encourage the audience to think about the future of Sarajevo as a center of high culture, social responsibility, sports and other key aspects of life. The goal of this play is to stimulate the audience’s collective memory of Sarajevo as an important cultural and sports capital. Through the idea of ZOI ’24, I want to say that Sarajevo should not only be nostalgia for past times, but an inspiration for building a future in which the city will once again shine in its greatness and significance – said choreographer Ivan Salonski.
The roles will be played by: Albina Huskić, Elio Arnoldo Villa Garcia, Masafumi Okuzono, Luisa Escamilla Rodriguez, Dora Kos, Zulejha Kečo Kapidžić, Darika Dunganova, Selma Efendić, Masafumi Okuzono, Admir Kalkan and Toko Tatekawa.
