Two narrators, a man and a woman, four true stories of courage coming from one of the most atrocious and inhumane conflicts of our time: the war that bloodied the former Yugoslavia between 1991 and 1995.
A show that runs along the thread of emotion through four stories of courage, brotherhood, and humanity stemming from the bloodiest European conflict after the end of World War II.
Gathered by Dr. Svetlana Broz (granddaughter of Josip Broz, the Yugoslav head of government, better known as Tito) and entrusted to the voices of Marco Cortesi and Mara Moschini, these four stories represent extraordinary testimonies of heroism, courage, and humanity.
“Hiding a neighbor in your own home, giving a ride to a woman, helping a friend with money, sharing food with a boy may seem like small gestures, but they become enormous examples of courage and humanity in a time when evil reigns in every corner, in a time when helping that neighbor, friend, or acquaintance of a different ethnicity and religion could cost you your life.”
With over 800 performances in Italy and abroad, “La Scelta” brings to the stage terribly relevant stories of civil courage, decisions, and choices that intertwine with a thrilling investigation into the true reasons for the conflict and the role of civil courage in our society.
