| Description |
Soaring with live Serbian music and song this is a vital piece of physical European theatre. Sergeant Sofia Jovanovic experienced The Great War as a huge, black disaster - like relentless tempest rolling in day after day, month after month. Dr Jessie Scott, among New Zealand's first women surgeons, refused to leave her wounded men to incoming invaders and her entire Serbian hospital was taken captive. Two gallant women, one a Kiwi, the other a Serb, weave tales of humanity, absurdity and futility in World War I in the Balkans. |
