The play "Sisters in Arms" takes as its starting point the author's position that history is a kaleidoscope composed of individual destinies and personal truths, as well as that theater has the power to narrate history in an immediate way through the joint ritual of audience and performers. The purpose of ritual is healing, in this case with an attempt to unravel the complex phenomenon of war. The main theme of the play is the First World War in the Balkans.
Through the lens of women active participants, Sofija Jovanović, a Belgrade woman, warrior and heroine of the Balkan wars, Dr. Džesi Scott, a New Zealander, the first female war surgeon who treated Serbian soldiers, as well as many others, the war is seen from a different, more personal angle, the angle of a creative woman, in the focus of destruction and death. The stories that the play will deal with and which the authors came up with after exhaustive research on the topic, include the stories of Moorish warriors who fought in the Balkans, as well as the testimonies of ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) and Serbian soldiers, participants in the war.
This international collaboration abounds with songs composed for the play performed live on stage, physical sequences and dances.
