Curators of STS 2025 chosen by committee members Beka Vučo and Ulricha Johnson
The Selection Committees Behind This Year’s Programmes
The Sarajevo Theatre Showcase 2025, taking place from 12 to 15 September in Sarajevo, is curated by an outstanding group of regional and international professionals whose artistic perspectives shape the entire event. Across carefully designed programme lines – Showcase, Theatre Market, Industry Pitch, Residency, Atelier and Stage Talks – each selection committee brings in-depth knowledge, regional expertise, and a commitment to excellence.
The Showcase programme features a curated selection of bold, urgent, and high-quality performances from Southeast Europe, premiering between 2023 and 2025. The selection was shaped by an independent committee composed of Beka Vučo and Ulricha Johnson, in dialogue with Andrej Nosov, and highlights artistic excellence, strong authorship, and the rich diversity of contemporary theatre in the region. Beka Vučo is a producer, cultural manager, and Founder of My Balkans, with a career spanning key roles at Atelje 212, BITEF, and the Open Society Foundations. Ulricha Johnson is a Swedish actress and translator with extensive stage experience and more than 30 translations to her name, currently serving as CEO of the Swedish Performing Arts Coalition.
