★ „More than twenty years later the name of Aleksandra Zec is still a demarcation line in the Croatian society. On one side are those lamenting over the judicial farce which has let free the identified murderers regardless of all the admissions and material evidence. On the other are those to whom Aleksandra Zec serves only to establish a difference between “our” and “their” victims, demonstrating that the predominant mental matrix of the Patriotic War has not moved far away from this victimological dichotomy. The production has tried

to do something else. It has tried to see how much is the Croatian society, eighteen years after the war and with the exception of the long-lasting media exploitation, ready to deal with what is for it, really and symbolically, the fate of the Zee family. As in Antigone, we still stumble over too many bodies which have not won the right to be buried." Oliver Frljić
