DAH Theatre performances
In/Visible City (2007-2008)
The main goal of the project In/Visible City was to make the multi-ethnic structure of the cities in Serbia and the richness of different ethnic cultures more visible. To re-discover what has become hidden, even though it has been part of our culture for centuries.
Through the performances in the public buses, that "told" the multi ethnic history of the cities, through a cultural exchange-barters and round-tables about inter-ethnic tolerance, a Calendar for the year 2008, in which each month is inspired by the culture of one ethnic community, through a documentary film about the project and travels of DAH Theatre Research Centre around Serbia, we wanted to contribute to the normalization of relationships between different ethnic communities. We want to contribute toward the development of a civil society that is based on tolerance.
Through these activities we remind that our culture, history, state and everyday life is inter-weaved with the influence of different cultures and that the cities in which we live today have been created by the work and creativity of the citizens that lived there, regardless of their ethnic origin.
The positive reactions of the audience and public affirmed that this action was much needed by the citizens of Serbia.
In Search of the City (2007) 
Collaboration between DAH Teatar and fragment theatre from Switzeland.In the performance "In the Search of the City" the main topic are invisible walls in our city, made of hidden histories, and taboos tied to our city. The hidden history of our city manifests itself also trough the lack clear information about what happened at certain places and what was the initial purpose of of certain buildings in the city. That, above all, is in relation with the buildings that still exist and that changed its function and also buildings that existed before and still exist but the memory of them still present.
Story of Tea (2006) 
The new performance of DAH Theatre takes as its point of departure the classic play by A.P. Chekov "Three Sisters".
The play serves as a reference point ,the frame which holds different stories and topics together.
The central theme of the play - the train that will eventually take sisters to their dream place- Moscow, or the situation of missing opportunities and lost chances, inspired and provoked several important issues that DAH Theatre's version of "Three Sisters" is dealing with.
Alice and Kafka are Dead/Ling Live the Rosenbergs (2005) 
How do you solve a problem like Ethel Rosenberg? Or Alice in Wonderland? Both women were sentenced to death, one in fiction, one in all-too-real life. Great trials and great literature collide in this ensemble-created co-production with Dah Teatar from Belgrade which looks to the root of what these stories and other tales of capital punishment from both cultures share in common. As today's headlines even prove, a juicy trial makes for some of the best theatre there is.
Cirque Macabre (2002)

Using the form of an obscure circus, this performance deals with
the theme of violence. The characters that perform the "circus
acts" are artists/visionaries who marked our times and who
perform a dark tango with their prosecutors.
Dancing With Darkness (2002)

In this first DAH Theatre's solo performance, actress Sanja Krsmanovic
Tasic through dealing with the reasons of the loss of an old performance
"The Helen Keller Case", deals with the meaning of loss
in general: the loss of senses, the loss of a country, the loss
of perceiving reality in a generally accepted way, the loss of identity.
Inner Mandala (2002)

In which the actress Maja Mitic talks about the healing power of
theatre, showing excerpts from the performances she took part in
from 1991. Her focus is on the questions from our last performance
"Maps of Forbidden Remembrance": "How long a vigil
does historical violence impose on us? How far can or should my
personal responsibility extend for injustices I did not commit?".
Document Of Times (1999)

Opening on the 29th June, 1999, at INFAT in Novi Sad, INFANT, this
performance was created in Belgrade, May and June of 1999, while
NATO was nightly bombing Yugoslavia. It is the testimony of reality
dissolving in front of us. The piece represents the impossibility
to capture a time, and seeks to fill a need for a different kind
of record and witness.
