Real drama

Via Negativa troupeA THEATRE prodution continued after members of the cast stabbed each other during a live performance . . .

The play, performed at a theatre in the Croatian port of Zadar and entitled Not Like Me was being performed by the Via Negativa troupe. It focuses on the relations between Serbs and Croats in the troubled region.

The actors who were seated under their national flags, put their hands on the table and stabbed the wood between their fingers with real kitchen knives.

After five rounds the table was covered in blood and one of the actors had part of his finger missing. Dozens of people walked out of the production and at least one woman fainted.

Actors Boris Kadin and Kristian Al-Droubi both needed hospital treatment following the performance.
