The Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo was officially opened in 1981 with the inaugural Department of Acting. This was followed by the opening of the Department of Directing in 1989, the Department of Dramaturgy in 1994 and the Department of Production in 2010 .
An important segment of the academy's practice is its cooperation with the Open Stage "Obala", a prominent Sarajevo theater, where students present their works along with professional actors, directors and writers.
The need for the Academy for Performing Arts arose because, according to data from the year 1981, Bosnia and Herzegovina theaters had around 180 employees of which only 24 had the appropriate academic qualifications. Therefore, it was decided to establish Academy for Performing Arts in Sarajevo which was open to students from Bosnia and Herzegovina and other republics of former Yugoslavia. Academy of Performing Arts officially started working on December 2, 1981.
Sarajevo is the leading political, social and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a prominent center of culture in the Balkans, with its region-wide influence in entertainment, media, fashion, and the arts.
The city is famous for its traditional cultural and religious diversity, with adherents of Islam, Orthodoxy, Judaism and Catholicism coexisting there for centuries. Due to its long and rich history of religious and cultural variety, Sarajevo is sometimes called the "Jerusalem of Europe" or "Jerusalem of the Balkans". It was, until late in the 20th century, the only major European city to have a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox church and synagogue within the same neighborhood. A regional center in education, the city is also home to the Balkans' first institution of tertiary education in the form of an Islamic polytechnic called the Saraybosna Osmanlı Medrese, today part of the University of Sarajevo.

LACRIMOSA FOR SARAJEVO - Konstantin Dupelius (Official Video)
LACRIMOSA FOR SARAJEVO is an expression of the sadness that regularly surrounds me when I travel to my absolute favourite city, Sarajevo. A city that has always stood for the peaceful coexistence of the most diverse cultures, from which it has drawn an inconceivable wealth of culture and creativity, but which for more than 30 years has been snatched away by nationalist and segregationist policies into war, stagnation and depression.
Composed & Recorded by Konstantin Dupelius in 2018 in South Tyrol and Sarajevo, for the theatre production UNCONSCIOUS COLLECTIONS . What about Bosnia?

Sarajevo is my absolute favourite city. No other city has been able to give me the same feeling of love, energy, beauty and craziness. Every year I have to go there, at least to recharge my Sarajevo batteries, and to immerse myself further in the many stories, culture, music and nature in and around the city.
But when I think of Sarajevo, I also think of the sadness that lies over this city like a cloud of depression. The frustration of my fellow Sarajevans who report every year that things are getting worse. I think of the unending migration abroad, the economic stagnation and the segregationist, nationalist policies that have been destroying this city and the entire country of Bosnia-Herzegovina for more than 30 years.
My composition LACRIMOSA FOR SARAJEVO is an expression of this sadness, of the tear I always cry for Sarajevo. For a city full of culture, liveliness and craziness, where a sweet juice full of creativity, interculturality and inspiration wells up from every street corner, but which has been poisoned by misanthropic ideologies for 30 years. It is a tear for all my friends and colleagues in this city who are not allowed to experience their full potential and the potential of the city, and perhaps never will in the long run. And it is a tear for all those who lost their lives, family members, friends and faith in humanity in the war and the almost 4-year siege of the city between 1992 and 1995.
When I travelled to Bosnia in 2017/18 on research for a music theatre project, the professor of electronic music at the Academy of Music in Sarajevo told me that his most moving concert experience to date was the concert that the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra played in 1994 during the war in the already destroyed Vjećnica, now Sarajevo City Hall, conducted by Zubin Metha. Mozart's Requiem was on the programme. For him, it was not so moving because the musical and interpretative quality of the concert was particularly high, no, because despite and during the war, during the siege of the city, the need for art, for music, for coming together and experiencing community was so high that events like this concert overshadow everything else to this day. Similarly, my friends and colleagues from the city tell me that the concerts and parties during the siege of Sarajevo, whether punk, classical or theatre, were the most intense experiences of their lives.
Inspired by these conversations and by Mozart's Requiem, I composed LACRIMOSA FOR SARAJEVO at the beginning of 2018, first in the artistic research of our theatre project in South Tyrol, and then produced and completed it in Sarajevo with my friend Nedim Zlatar, drummer and producer from Sarajevo. The piano melody is a quotation from the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem, which I reharmonised and based on which I freely improvise on the new harmonies. The second part of the composition is based on the same material, but this time with the support of Nedim Zlatar on drums, who increases the Tear for Sarajevo to a dramatic scream. To this day, it is the composition with which I identify most, which is why I also decided to produce a music video - and of course it had to happen in Sarajevo.
