"A place with a soul," is what admirers tend to call Sarajevo's Youth Theatre. A place with an identity of its own, this institution is one of those special spots each city has. Its history began in 1950 when two theaters were founded in Sarajevo: the Children's Theatre and the Puppet Theatre. In the sixties, these two institutions merged and changed their name to the Youth Theatre, whose goal was clear from the beginning: to stage projects that would attract increasing numbers of young people.
