The play “Ćelava pjevačica”, produced by the Center for Culture Tivat from Montenegro, delighted the audience in Konjic this evening at the Festival of Actors of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This acclaimed production has won numerous awards at various festivals and is considered one of the most sought-after plays in the region. Thanks to the longstanding international cooperation between the City of Konjic and the Municipality of Tivat — a sister-city relationship nurtured for over five decades — the people of Konjic had the opportunity to enjoy this outstanding performance.
FG BiH: The play “Ćelava pjevačica” delighted the people of Konjic.
Goran Božović, Director of the Center for Culture Tivat, expressed his satisfaction with participating in the Festival of Actors of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Konjic.
“It is a great honor and pleasure for us to have brought this masterpiece, directed by Jagoš Marković, to Konjic. The play has conquered the region in a competitive sense, having won 32 awards at eleven festivals so far, and is among the most awarded theatre productions in Montenegrin history,” said Božović.
The play “Ćelava pjevačica”, the latest piece directed by Jagoš Marković, is based on the text by French-Romanian author Eugène Ionesco. Marković created a new version of the play, relocating the action from London to the Bay of Kotor, setting it in the apartment of a noble family from Kotor. The entire script was translated into the Boka dialect. The cast — Olga Odanović, Branko Vidaković, Dubravka Drakić, Momčilo Otašević, Sandra Bugarski, and Branimir Popović — delivered an outstanding performance, which was met with a prolonged round of applause from the Konjic audience.
Actor Momčilo Otašević, who was participating in the Konjic festival for the first time, especially praised the hospitality he experienced during his stay in Konjic.
“It was wonderful to perform, as it always is, because we approach this play with a lot of love. I hope the audience enjoyed it and appreciated our performance. The hospitality here is outstanding, as are the mutual love and respect,” said Otašević.
With her outstanding performance, actress Olga Odanović particularly impressed the audience. “Ćelava pjevačica” holds a special place in her heart, as it is the last theatre production directed by Jagoš Marković, with whom she collaborated on 23 plays throughout her acting career.
“For us, ‘Ćelava pjevačica’ is a celebration and a deeply meaningful act. We were all close friends of Jagoš, and he loved working with people he knew well. The six of us in the cast live and work in different cities—Podgorica, Belgrade, Zagreb—but when it comes to ‘The Bald Soprano,’ we always respond immediately to any invitation to perform,” emphasized Odanović.
Actress Sandra Bugarski did not hide her satisfaction with the successful performance in Konjic and the audience’s reactions.
“The audience was breathing with us tonight. Just as they watch and evaluate us, we also feel their reactions — and tonight, they were truly wonderful,” said Bugarski.

Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sjećanje vode” was performed.
The play “Sjećanje vode”, produced by the Croatian National Theatre Mostar, was performed this evening at the Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Konjic. The production, based on the text by Shelagh Stephenson, was directed by Croatian director Nina Kleflin. The cast included Jelena Kordić-Kuret, Nikolina Marić, Ana Franjčević, Mirela Kordić, Ivo Krešić, and Robert Pehar.
The play tells the story of three sisters who reunite in their childhood home on the eve of their mother’s funeral. Through their conversations and memories, the audience is introduced to complex family relationships, hidden secrets, forgotten emotions, and unspoken truths. Actress Anja Franjčević, for whom this was the second appearance at the Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Konjic, believes that the play is multilayered and explores a wide range of themes.
“There are so many themes we actually touch on—memory, forgetting, childhood traumas that go on to define us later in life. We also explore the functionality of the family, the complicated relationship with the mother, and ultimately, we show that all of us are just little children trapped in grown-up bodies, longing for attention, love, and care,” said Franjčević, adding that each of the three sister characters is unique in her own way.
“I play the youngest sister. What characterizes my role is that she constantly feels excluded from her own family. She has found a way to channel all her childhood traumas by forgetting—through drug use. She is quite emotionally dependent on other people and experiences major breakdowns,” Franjčević emphasized.
Actor Ivo Krešić expressed positive impressions following the performance in Konjic.
“We had a wonderful evening, as the devoted audience in Konjic followed the play closely and rewarded us with a big round of applause at the end. We always have a great experience when we come to Konjic,” said Krešić.
The repertoire of the Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues on Sunday, May 25, at 7:30 PM, with the performance of “Ćelava pjevačica” by the Center for Culture Tivat.

Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina: The play “Idiot” performed
The Banja Luka Student Theatre performed this evening at the Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Konjic with the play Idiot, based on a text by Muza Pavlova. The production was directed by Muhamed Bahonjić and Dragoslav Medojević, who also appear as actors in the play.Idiot is a comedic story about bureaucracy, told from the perspectives of a civil servant and a citizen in need of a document. The play satirically reflects on a phenomenon still very present in today’s society—commonly referred to as “chasing paperwork.”
Muhamed Bahonjić, who plays the role of the citizen, said that with this play they wanted to raise awareness about the things that surround us.
“We wanted to present these issues in a humorous way—not exactly as they are, but exaggerated. Sometimes, to show something the way it truly is, you have to exaggerate. I’m sure many people have experienced needing a certain certificate, only to be sent back five times, or being asked for a favor, or even money. Unfortunately, that’s the reality—but still, it’s not so widespread that we should be too worried. Let it serve us in theatre as material to create plays, to have fun, and to laugh,” said Bahonjić, who has performed at the Actor’s Festival in Konjic several times before. In contrast, his colleague Dragoslav Medojević participated for the first time in this festival, which celebrates the acting profession.
“This was my first time performing in Konjic, although I know the festival has a long tradition and that Konjic has always had a strong and respectable amateur theatre scene, both in the past and today. The audience here has been raised with theatre, and performing in front of such a well-versed audience carries a great responsibility—so I did feel a bit of stage fright. In the end, the audience rewarded us with a wonderful round of applause,” said Medojević.
Actors Muhamed Bahonjić and Dragoslav Medojević, although retired, continue to perform in plays with great passion.
“There’s still that same passion on stage—the intensity is the same, just in a slightly different form. The enthusiasm you have in youth is different from that in your later years, when you have experience and decades of work behind you. But that enthusiasm definitely remains,” said Medojević, who has been involved in theatre for over 50 years.
Actor Bahonjić has also dedicated his entire life to the theatre.
“I started back in elementary school and have truly been involved in theatre for a long time. It’s a wonderful profession, but it requires understanding from the community and an audience that is accustomed to supporting the art of theatre,” said Bahonjić.

“Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Uhvati zeca”
At the Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Konjic this evening, the play Uhvati zeca was performed, a production by the National Theatre Sarajevo and Scene MESS. The play is based on the novel of the same name by author Lana Bastašić. It was directed by Lajla Kaikčija, and the cast included Amra Kapidžić, Vedrana Božinović, Una Kostić, Ana-Marija Tomić, Mak Čengić, and Dino Bajrović.
The play Uhvati zeca tells the story of two friends, Lejla (Amra Kapidžić) and Sara (Vedrana Božinović), and their friendship, as they recall their childhood and shared moments. These memories are brought to life through the performances of the younger Lejla (Una Kostić) and younger Sara (Ana-Marija Tomić). Through their recollections, Lejla and Sara deliver a touching narrative about a relationship that shaped both of their lives, highlighting love, childhood innocence, fear, uncertainty, and personal loss.The audience responded enthusiastically to the actors’ performances, which, as actress Amra Kapidžić noted, was felt from the very first breath on stage.
“We felt the audience’s breath, and it seemed to me that we were breathing as one. They reacted so beautifully—measured, balanced, exactly in the moments where audiences usually respond,” said Amra Kapidžić, for whom this was the first appearance at the Actor’s Festival in Konjic. She added that there was great energy throughout the rehearsal and creation process, especially since the team was predominantly made up of women.
“Female energy is generally something positive and warm. We do have two men in the cast, but the majority were women—the writer, the director, the dramaturge, and four actresses. I honestly can’t remember an easier creative process. Not just in terms of that energy, but everything was very simple, quiet, without any raised voices, which can sometimes happen during rehearsals. I actually remember the whole process for its lightness and ease. Vedrana and I have known each other for a very long time—over 30 years of friendship—and I believe that had a big impact. It helped us bring those two characters closer together, like two real-life friends, with all the love, jealousy, and even occasional hatred, which is completely normal and a part of life. I think that made a huge difference. Even now, we’re getting feedback from audience members who know us personally, and they say that what happens on stage wouldn’t feel the same if the two of us didn’t have a real, genuine friendship off stage,” said Kapidžić.
Actress Vedrana Božinović, who also serves as the Artistic Director of the National Theatre Sarajevo, said that she had a strong desire to see the novel Uhvati zeca adapted for the stage.
“I really wanted this novel to have a stage adaptation. If not a film, then at least a play. And I immediately knew that Lajla Kaikčija had the sensitivity needed for this story. So that part came together very naturally. Lajla chose Amra and me to play the two friends, which I think is wonderful. But we did talk about how we might be a bit too old for these roles—though we’re roughly the same age as the characters, maybe I’m just a little older than Lejla and Sara are in the novel. Still, Lajla wanted it to be the two of us, and now I can’t imagine doing it with anyone other than Amra. I think the fact that we know each other so well really contributed to how well we work together,” said Božinović.
The program of the Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues on Monday, May 19, with a guest performance by the Banja Luka Student Theatre. They will present the play Idiot at 7:30 PM.

The play “Suparnice” conquered Konjic: Actors thrilled with the audience and the city.
Tonight, the audience in Konjic had the opportunity to enjoy the play “Suparnice” performed by the Lektirum Theatre from Zagreb. After the performance, we spoke with actresses Natalija Đorđević and Ksenija Pajić, as well as actor Mladen Čutura, about their impressions and the challenges of performing in a comedy.
Actress Natalija Đorđević, who is visiting Konjic for the third time, didn’t hide her enthusiasm: “There’s always such a wonderful, wonderful energy here, and you can really feel it. It means a lot, especially when performing a comedy, to receive that kind of feedback from the audience.”
Speaking about the difficulty of performing comedy, Natalija said: “There’s a line I really love — an onion can make you cry, but they still haven’t invented a vegetable that can make you laugh.” She added that comedy requires a special sense of timing and a good sense of humor.
Speaking about the differences between theatre and television, where she also has experience, she said: “I really love television and film because I actually started working in TV when I was six years old… but I’m a member of the Gavella Drama Theatre, so that’s kind of my main focus.” Still, she considers working with Lektirum and her colleagues Ksenija and Mladen a special honor.
Actress Ksenija Pajić warmly highlighted her long-standing connection with Konjic: “We feel at home here. Konjic is our city, and your audience is our audience. We’ve known each other for years, and I have to say that your audience is a true theatre audience. We genuinely enjoy and gladly perform in front of them.”
Speaking about the play “Suparnice”, written by Marijana Nola and directed by Saša Broz, Ksenija revealed that it is about theatre and actresses, with elements inspired by Molière’s “The Scheming Women”.
Actor Mladen Čutura shared his long-standing experience and perspective on audiences: “These days, people are tired. They’ve had enough of everything, and the only way they can truly relax is through comedy. They tend to avoid those heavy, serious dramas.” That’s precisely why the Lektirum Theatre in Zagreb chose to focus on comedies—to be closer to the audience and bring them joy.
Čutura also spoke about his work with puppetry, which earned him his acting pension, emphasizing that it is a very demanding job because the puppet has to come to life in front of the audience—especially the most honest one: children.
The actresses agreed that the audience in Konjic is special. They highlighted their pleasure with tonight’s performance and the joy of returning to Konjic once again.
At the end of the conversation, Ksenija Pajić smiled as she commented on the beauties of Konjic: “You, of course, live here, but I don’t know if you’re aware of how beautiful your city is, how much nature you have, how fresh the air is, how much you can enjoy the silence, and how much you can enjoy being with each other.”
They expressed hope that they would return to perform at the Actor’s Festival in Konjic and are looking forward to meeting the Konjic audience again.
The program of the 12th Actor’s Festival of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues on Wednesday, May 14th, with performances by elementary school students titled “School Theatre Konjic 2025”, which will be held in the Cinema Hall at 1:30 PM.
The next performance will be on Friday, May 16th, when the Sarajevo National Theatre will present their production “Catch the Rabbit”, directed by Lajla Kaikči.

The forestry company “Prenj” is organizing a reforestation event on Saturday, planting 20,000 black pine seedlings on Homolje.
The company Šumarstvo “Prenj” Konjic, in honor of the International Day of Forests on March 22, 2025, is organizing a large-scale reforestation campaign on the fire-damaged area of Homolje. The plan includes planting 20,000 black pine seedlings to restore the forest ecosystem and raise awareness about the importance of forest conservation. Just last year, around 65 hectares of pine forest were destroyed by fire.
The project, worth 250,000 KM, aims to rehabilitate Homolje with black pine seedlings—an area frequently affected by wildfires caused by human negligence. Elma Ljevo, head of the Department for Silviculture, Integrated Protection, and Nursery Production at Šumarstvo “Prenj” Konjic, explains the details of this reforestation project.
“At the initiative of the City of Konjic, Šumarstvo ‘Prenj’, in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Agropedology, is implementing a reforestation project on the fire-damaged area of Homolje. The project is worth around 250,000 KM and is funded by the Environmental Protection Fund of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which approved the funds following the successful completion of the first phase,” stated Elma Ljevo.
In 2024, Šumarstvo “Prenj” Konjic carried out the first phase of the reforestation project in Homolje. This phase included preparatory work, such as clearing the fire-damaged area of vegetation and conducting soil analysis. The second phase, which involves the planting of black pine, is planned for the upcoming weekend. Following the planting, the third phase will begin, introducing an innovative reforestation method using drones and “seed bombs”—a technique being applied for the first time in our country, explained Ljevo.
“The second phase of the project, planned for the weekend, involves reforesting Homolje with 20,000 black pine seedlings. The third phase includes an innovative reforestation method using drones and seed ‘bombs’, marking the first time this technique is being used in our country. These ‘bombs’ are small balls made of clay, sand, and substrate that protect the seeds from external factors and provide essential nutrients for growth. This method has proven effective in neighboring countries, especially in hard-to-reach areas. If it proves successful in Konjic, it could potentially be used in mine-contaminated areas as well,” said Ljevo.
After the major fire in Homolje in 2018, which destroyed around 75 hectares of pine forest and caused soil erosion, restoring the area has been extremely challenging. That’s why the reforestation project—supported by the Environmental Protection Fund, the City of Konjic, and the Federal Institute for Agropedology—is of crucial importance.
Šumarstvo “Prenj” Konjic emphasizes that restoring the burned area will help prevent forest diseases and ensure the regrowth of young pine forests near the city. For those participating in the reforestation campaign, departure is scheduled for Saturday, March 22nd at 8 a.m. from the Šumarstvo ‘Prenj’ compound, with transportation provided. The location is near Konjic, accessible by good roads, so participants can also arrive by private car. Šumarstvo “Prenj” will provide prepared terrain, seedlings, tools, and expert assistance, they stated.

12th Festival of Actors of BiH: Concert by Amira Medunjanin held on Friday, tonight the play “Suparnice” by the Lectirum Theatre from Zagreb
The sevdah diva Amira Medunjanin held a concert in Konjic on Friday as part of her Bosnian-Herzegovinian tour across nineteen cities.
The concert was a side event of the 12th Festival of Actors of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was opened in Konjic on May 5th with the play “Ne daj se generacijo” by the Youth Theatre Sarajevo, and will conclude on June 4th with the awarding of prizes to the best actors.
Performing for the second time at the Festival of Actors of BiH in Konjic, Amira Medunjanin delighted the audience with her interpretation. The sevdah diva, accompanied by top musicians, performed not only traditional sevdalinkas but also original compositions written for her, as well as popular rock melodies and evergreen hits. The people of Konjic enjoyed the concert, singing along with her in chorus, and rewarded her with a thunderous round of applause at the end of the performance.
“This is my great Bosnian-Herzegovinian musical story, and I’m immensely looking forward to it. We will sing what our hearts know, all across our beautiful Bosnia and Herzegovina, and bow to the audience with full hearts and lots of love,” said Amira Medunjanin, who expressed how incredibly happy she was to perform once again among her fellow people of Konjic, especially since her father is originally from Glavatičevo, near Konjic.
Tonight, the festival program continues with the comedy “Suparnice”, performed by the Lectirum Theatre from Zagreb, starring Ksenija Pajić, Mladen Čutura, and Natalija Đorđević.
The play was written by Marijana Nola and directed by Saša Broz. It will be performed in the cinema hall of the Konjic National University, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Across the world, thousands of runners participate on the same day, at the same moment, and the funds raised from race entry fees and donations are directed toward research aimed at finding a cure for spinal cord injuries.

“The National University of Konjic, under the auspices of the City of Konjic and numerous partners and friends from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region, presents the 12th season of the Festival of Actors of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The festival will take place from May 5 to June 4, and on the National University’s big stage we will present eight professional theater productions, six from Bosnia and Herzegovina and two from the region, from Croatia and Montenegro. All this thanks to international cultural cooperation and the good relations we continuously cultivate with Tivat and Zagreb”- said Mušinović.
The opening program also includes a visual performance showcasing the festival’s repertoire, which consists of eight official performances and five accompanying educational activities, Mušinović said.
“This year, the festival will be officially opened by the Mayor of Konjic, Mr. Osman Ćatić, after a visual performance that will present a cross-section of the complete repertoire, all eight official programs and five accompanying educational programs,” added Mušinović.
The first play on the program is on May 5th. It is an original project by actors Mario Drmač and Alen Muratović, entitled “Don’t give up, generation,” revealed the director of National University Konjic.
“This is a touching and humorous comedy that was performed in front of packed halls throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad. I am convinced that the people of Konjic and all our guests will truly enjoy this artistic theatrical work, and I hope that it will accompany the complete repertoire of this year’s festival,” said Mušinović.
The festival will close on June 4th with a concert program. Then the awards for the best actress, actor and collective act will be presented. The awards are decided by the festival jury, which, according to Benjamin Mušinović, consists of the audience from Konjic.

International Day for Monuments and Sites: Stećci as a Gem of Cultural and Historical Heritage in Konjic
April 18th is the International Day for Monuments and Sites. In the Konjic area, more than 4,000 stećci—medieval stone tombstones—have been registered. In 2016, they were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The International Day for Monuments and Sites is observed every year on April 18th, and stećci are an integral part of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s cultural and historical heritage. A large number of stećci have been registered in the Konjic area, and the Commission to Preserve National Monuments of BiH has protected several necropolises. Muhamed Krnjić from the Center for Culture of the National University Konjic states that there are 150 necropolises:
“When it comes to stećci in the territory of the City of Konjic, according to available information, we have over 4,000 stećci and around 150 necropolises. Of course, some of these necropolises are protected by the Commission to Preserve National Monuments,” he said.
Given that the City of Konjic is the largest in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of territory, Muhamed explains that many stećci are located in hard-to-reach areas. Stećci play an important role in preserving the national identity in this region, and it is essential to educate young people about this cultural and historical wealth.
“The City of Konjic has carried out various cleaning projects; however, these are mostly forested areas that quickly become overgrown again. The fact that the city has over four thousand stećci shows that this is a significant location, and it is important for young people to become familiar with the number of stećci and to understand their important role in preserving intangible heritage.”
Speaking about the presentation of stećci to tourists, Krnjić explains that a mapping process is in the works:
“Some tourists are aware that Bosnia and Herzegovina has a significant number of stećci, while others learn about our national intangible heritage during their visits to these sites. We hope that, through the mapping project, we will make it easier for visitors to access the stećci in the future.”
In the Konjic area, more than four thousand stećci have been registered, and in the recent period, no new groups or locations containing stećci have been discovered.
“As far as I know, and based on information from colleagues working on these projects, there have been no reports of any newly discovered locations or necropolises of stećci.”
We can be proud of the fact that Konjic has more than four thousand stećaks and that tourists from all over the world recognize the value of these landmarks. For this reason, we must preserve the intangible national treasure with every new generation.
