Schlachthaus Bern: theater and concert
"Comrades! Even now I'm not ashamed of my Communist past"
The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the country in which Sanja Mitrović and Vladimir Aleksić grew up, exists now only in imagination and memory. Drawing on the heritage of the once flourishing Yugoslav cinema and their personal biographies, they examine what is left of the former values — such as solidarity and social justice. In this engaging performance, they playfully weave together theatre and film, screen and stage into a piece of recent European history, relevant beyond the personal dimension.

Damir Imamović was born in 1978 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is the grandson of one of the most influental sevdah singers – Zaim Imamović. Damir used to perform abroad together with his grandfather and his father Nedžad Imamović at the beginning of his music career.
In 2005 Damir Imamović started performing solo concerts, and in 2006 he founded his first trio, with whom he recorded two spectacular albums. Various performances with Bojan Z, Eric Vloeimans, Jadranka Stojaković and recordings with Vlatko Stefanovski, Hüsnü Şenlendirici and Frenki followed. Imamović also performed in prominent concert halls including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, Kolarac in Belgrade, BKC in Sarajevo, Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana, CRR in Istanbul and many more. After two solo albums Imamović starts in 2012 recording with his favourite band "Sevdah Takht". Marina Andree produced a documentary film called "Sevdah" about Damir's work and philosophy in 2008.
Imamović initiated also the «SevdahLab» project – a travelling interactive laboratory of sevdah in which Damir explores history and aesthetics of this traditional art. SevdahLab lectures and workshops were held in different universities and institutes for music and art in Europe and USA.
