Festival
FORUMS, WORKSHOPS, CONCERTS AND THEATRE PLAYS AT 5TH EDITION OF SARAJEVO FEST 2023
The fifth Sarajevo Fest 2023, organized by East West Center Sarajevo, will take place from November 26 till December 2, 2023. The Festival theme is “What remains?”
“Sarajevo Fest 2023 is taking place in times of numerous crises. Nothing is sacred in the contemporary world – the lives of children, the lives of refugees and migrants, international law, United Nations, state sovereignty, the planet’s climate future. If we stomp on all principles of life, health, law, communications, freedom, truth – then what remains? Our world is on the verge of an explosion due to wars, pollution, terrorism, climate changes; political turbulences; migrations, organized crime, galloping technological progress and civilisation underdevelopment in many parts of the world. In the chaos of various crises, societies and individuals are becoming increasingly insensitive to vital human characteristics: empathy, freedom and communication. If we lose our feelings for the weakest social groups; if we lose the freedom of speech; if we lose our communication, then what will remain? – is the question raised by this year’s Festival edition”.
Haris Pašović, Director of Sarajevo Fest and East West Center Sarajevo
