A champion of Sarajevo’s National Theatre, Nada Đurevska was born in 1958 in Skopje. She moved to Sarajevo when she was one year old: a city that has influenced her, as much as she has influenced it. She graduated with a degree in acting from the local Faculty of Arts in 1979, and became a member of the ensemble at the Drama Sarajevo National Theatre – an honour she still holds today. Throughout her long and prolific theatre career Đurevska has received several awards, and her most significant performances include the roles of Masha in Chekhov’s Three Sisters (Tri sestre), and Filomena in Moliere’s The Learned Ladies (Učene žene). During the war she played in all Sarajevo’s theatres, and after the war, she played numerous iconic roles in theatres throughout Bosnia & Herzegovina. Đurevska has left a deep mark on cinema and on TV. She first appeared before the cameras in a TV film Source (Izvor) in 1978. Just like her movie partner in A Stranger, Bogdan Diklić, her performances have enriched numerous Yugoslav, Bosnian and now, also, Croatian films. Especially noteworthy are the films Igman March (Igmanski marš), Golden Apple (Od zlata jabuka), Well Tempered Corpses (Dobro uštimani mrtvaci), Days and Hours (Kod amidže Idriza) and Grbavica. Nada Đurevska certainly is the First Lady of Bosnian theatre.
