In The Yugoslavs, everything begins when a waiter asks a customer for help, whom he has seen uplift another person's spirits with words. The waiter begs this stranger to speak to his wife, who seems to be sinking into sadness and silence. The waiter hopes that the customer can find the saving words that he himself is unable to find for his wife.

She, in turn, walks through the city with a map in hand, looking for a place called The Yugoslavs, perhaps another bar where people who were born in a country that no longer exists might gather. Until a young woman offers her, in exchange for hers, another map. The Yugoslavs is a work about love, sadness, the search for a place, and hope in words. Its characters are two men who exchange words and two women who exchange maps.

My grandfather had a bar, and every night he would return telling stories he had just experienced with his clients. I guess that's where my desire to write this play came from.

The Yugoslavs deals with one of the issues that most persistently occupies me: what we do with words and what words do with us.

There are many reasons why, since I wrote it, I wanted to bring The Yugoslavs to the stage. The most important: that its characters matter to me.
