A LIFE JOURNEY THROUGH TIME - MOSTAR IN THE 16TH CENTURY CULTURE AND TRADITION DURING THE OTTOMANS EMPIRE

Try to imagine if you can, a tiny little bottle of time in which the most fragrant drops of customs and traditions are preserved. In that bottle, besides your memories, are hidden the emotions that only a reminescent soul remembers, and get are triggered by smells, sounds or tastes. In that little bottle you can see everything that is in your heart. That little bottle is a spring of inspiration for something that we like to call "Mostarian night from 1688". Formed as a community theater, we will provide you with a interesting interactive show full of tiny authentic details from 16 century.

We are going to welcome you in a truly Ottoman-Bosnian atmosphere so you can feel it in the air. Beside the fact that our show is happening in Kajtaz house, one of UNESCO-protected monuments, our guests will also enjoy live performance of traditional dances, sevdah as the traditional Bosnian music, and traditional Herzegovinian dishes prepared in our households. Our guests at the dinner are free to talk to the family and to ask them anything about the house or about the time house was built at. Also, our guest are free to try and take photos wearing national clothes, they are free to learn few dancing steps, or simply to wonder the house on their own.
