ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, in the artistic research project Docudancing Griefscapes (Roar 2015), I have explored choreographic strategies for embodying traumatic contexts of grieving by using ethnographic tools and documentary material in order to construct performances relating to such socio-political realities. Hence, I have dealt with issues that are often claimed to be unrepresentable. In this chapter, I will look at one of these projects, entitled An Unfinished Story (2006), which was developed based on my enquiries into the socio-political reality of loss and grieving brought about by the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the Bosnian War.1 Without going into the larger discussion about the unrepresentable quality of trauma, or the details and conflict leading up to the Bosnian War, I will mainly focus on my approach to addressing the lived experiences of this socio-political context of grieving and how I dealt with representing its unrepresentable matters in this project.
