Abstract
This paper examines the intermedial relationship between Aleksandar Hemon’s novel
Bejturan i ruža, Damir Imamović’s album The World and All That It Holds, and the theatre
adaptation Svijet i sve u njemu, directed by Selma Spahić and premiered at the Sarajevo
War Theatre (SARTR) in 2025. Starting from the novel’s narrative about the love between
two Sarajevo recruits during the First World War, the paper explores how the same thematic and narrative material moves from literature into music and theatre. Particular attention is given to the transformation of the novel’s narrative structure into a musical form inspired by the poetics of the Bosnian sevdalinka, as well as to the stage adaptation that employs several strategies typical of contemporary postdramatic theatre. The analysis shows that the novel, the album and the theatre production can be understood as interconnected layers of a broader intermedial project that reflects contemporary tendencies of transmedial storytelling and the growing cultural interest in questions of identity and migration.
