Demolition of the Eiffel Tower, is a tragicomedy that addresses one of the modern world’s most significant problems – terrorism arising as a consequence of global political and religious conflicts. The play confronts cultural divisions, religious fanaticism, violence, and issues regarding democracy and individual freedom in Europe. Above all, the play highlights misunderstandings, stereotypes, and prejudices created as a consequence of secular politics clashing with religious observations in Paris.

The play was written by Jeton Neziraj of Kosovo, directed by Kushtrim Bekteshi of Macedonia, was produced by International Theatre Festival MESS of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and stars Amar Selimović, Alban Ukaj, Adi Hrustemović, Irma Alimanović, and Alma Terzić.
