| Description |
This special closing event is a beautiful orchestral and choral work celebrating people, place and ritual and features 100 young performers. The Mostari, or keepers of the Mostar bridge, have for centuries past dived off the bridge in a display of heroism and bravado, plunging 24 metres into the icy green waters of the Neretva River below. The 400-year-old bridge was destroyed in 1993 during the horrific disintegration of former Yugoslavia. Tank sheels sent chunks of medievil stone tumbling into the water. An intense and lyrical work, Stari Most carries at its heart a strong message of reconciliation. |
