Biljana Srbljanović Biljana Srbljanović graduated dramaturgy at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade (1995), where she has been engaged as a lecturer since 1997. Her works arise from a strong personal experience of the environment in which she is located. At the time of Slobodan Milosevic's regime, her criticism was aimed at the Serbian society (Belgrade Trilogy, Family Stories, The Fall). When she left Serbia and began to get to know European society as well after visiting the United States, Srbljanović became engaged in analyzing the social organization of the so-called "First world" and their way of life, in particular, in analyzing the reverse face of united Europe (Supermarket) and "the American Dream" (America, part two). In addition to the political and social criticism, her plays speak of the most intimate personal problems of modern man, such as family and intergenerational relations and conflicts (Locusts). In recent dramas she speaks of metaphysical subjects such as loneliness, aging and especially death (Barbelo, Death is not a bicycle). Plays by Biljana Srbljanović have been staged in more than 150 theaters around the world and have been translated into over eighty languages. Dramas and Sterija Awards: Belgrade Trilogy (1997), Family Stories (1998, Sterija Award for text); The Fall (2000); Supermarket (2001, Sterija Award for text 2003); Alisa (2002); The Animal Kingdom (2003); America, Part Two (2003, Sterija Award for text 2004); Locusts (2005, Sterija Award for text 2006); Barbelo, of Dogs and Children (2007, Sterija Award for text 2008), Death is Not a Bicycle (2011), This Grave is Too Small For Me (2013, Sterija Award for text 2014); short plays Manifesto (2001) and Travel (2008).

From the media Humiliation at the border You become disgusted with your own name and your birthplace, with the date of your birth and the reason why you were born - says one of the heroes of the show, describing encounters with customs officials and employees of the consulate. It is thunderous applause and laughter, sense of both bitterness and excitement... that accompanied the premiere of Someone else’s heart, or Theater treatise on Borders by Biljana Srbljanović, directed by Dino Mustafić, played January 6 at the Sarajevo War Theatre (SARTR). Woven of crude factography of local life shaped through artistic manuscripts of the author team, the play indeed mesmerized the audience from the very first moment. From scene to scene, from theater boards our own life was staring at us, kicking us in the chest and in the plexus... From the non-recognition of identity documents from Bosnia and Herzegovina - Kosovo, through the boy from Mostar, who has three names (for Serbs he is Marko, for Croats Sasha, for Muslims he is Salih), from the Ustasha forces – male and female, male and female Chetniks, love of refugees from Syria, from the Hungarian border made of barbed wire, from the fact that people cannot cross from Western to eastern Mostar and the other way around even though there is no border and there are no guards, from the delirium tremens in the embassies of Western countries and on the borders of these states... on and on. (...) The play is, in an impressive way, characterized by music, humor, and the fact that it is played in three languages (Serbo-Croatian, Albanian and English) and everyone speaks everything, but there is still parallel subtitling; the eyes of the audience are glued to that subtitle in order not to accidentally miss anything. It is all the same to them whether they will read or hear, but the extremely dynamic tempo actually means that we actually do not know how we absorb the text. Director Dino Mustafić says that they have turned a bureaucratic topic, which includes visas, regulations, forms, stamps ... into a juicy theatrical act. - This is an important issue for the Balkans, and we see that it is becoming increasingly important for Europe too, because we witness new barb wires and borders. Humiliation in many ways ruins life in every sense, and the most terrifying border is the one that we cannot see – the border in people's heads - says Mustafić. (…)
