Join us for YUdéjàVU, a compelling musical journey by balkaNet e.V. that explores the pop culture of Yugoslavia from 1950 to the present. This performance delves into the subversive ideas that permeated a society rich in diversity and creativity, where punk rock and avant-garde movements were not just fringe elements, but part of the mainstream.

Before the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the nation experienced a wave of optimism and tangible utopias. However, this vibrant society witnessed a tragic descent into war and genocide. What implications does this history have for the survivors? YUdéjàVU seeks to answer these questions through a unique and personal lens, using the stories of the Yugoslav pop and rock scene.

The show features a diverse group of performers from various ethnic backgrounds of former Yugoslavia, all united in their belief in overcoming nationalism and aspiring for a multi-ethnic, non-religious coexistence. They continue to grapple with the past, attempting to comprehend the events that unfolded.

YUdéjàVU invites you to experience the music that has survived the collapse of the state, evolving into a trans-Yugoslav identity that now resonates globally. Join us at the Werkraum of the Münchner Kammerspiele as we listen to these melodies that reveal more about our present than we might expect.
