Brašno u venama
Sve je trebalo biti još samo jedna obiteljska večera: djed i baka te sin, snaha i unuk, neprilagođen tinejdžer, koji su se vratili iz dalekog svijeta. Sve u svemu, gotovo posve svakodnevna situacija, no iznenada, nakon što je prije dvadeset godina otišao iz roditeljskog doma ne javivši se nikome, na večeri se pojavljuje on – odmetnuti sin Igor, ratni izvjestitelj, voljeni sin, brat i dotad nepoznati stric.
U jednoj noći u uzavreloj atmosferi prepunoj sukoba, ali i humora, odvija se drama jedne obitelji, sto godina povijesti na Balkanu sa svim sretnim trenucima i tragedijama. Od Sarajevskog atentata preko međuraća, Drugoga svjetskoga rata i jugoslavenskog socijalizma do ratnog Sarajeva devedesetih, odlazaka diljem svijeta, stjecanja i gubljenja bogatstava, sve traume i radosti, prošlost, sadašnjost i budućnost nalaze se u nagrađivanom dramskom tekstu Igora Štiksa. Brašno u venama drama je jednog prostora i povijesti, drama pojedinaca uhvaćenih u klopku vlastitih sjećanja, drama ljubavi, bratskih osjećaja, ljubomora, neprilagođenosti, tuge i smijeha, drama koja govori o utegu prošlosti i o mogućnosti da se krene dalje.

Gotovo pa isto kao i "Rezalište". Plus za pisanje na engleskom i hrvatskom jeziku.
