Flower of Srebrenica

Can remembering be an act of resistance?

A Brechtian exploration of the human cost of silence, The Flowers of Srebrenica amplifies voices often marginalised in historical narratives. Featuring artists from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, Ireland and Ukraine, LegalAliens’ theatrical reimagining of Aidan Hehir’s illustrated novel, blends physical theatre, devising, and animated projections, to show how quickly societies can fall apart.

The show follows Aidan along his journey from Sarajevo to the site of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, guided by Mustafa, a Bosnian war veteran turned tour guide. Arriving as a confident expert on the Balkans, he soon finds his assumptions challenged. As the heat becomes suffocating and the voices of the victims echo in his head, what begins as an ironic road trip shifts into a stark reckoning with human connection and the fragility of civilisation.
