A Word of Introduction

Living with Cankar It pleases me immensely when strangers approach me in the street, to confess that they simply cannot imagine living without Cankarjev dom. Such encounters are not rare. A nice lady has recently confided in me that she and her husband had attended at least a thousand events in our centre and plan on remaining our loyal visitors also in future. She also revealed that Cankarjev dom played an important part in their lives. Visitors love to frequent our centre, attending artistic performances, congresses and social evenings, and most recently coming to sit beneath the shady trees of the Council of Europe Park and, reclining on the grass, clear their minds of stress for a brief spell. Cankarjev dom is a truly amazing hub of discoveries, emotions, experiences. Over two thousand events are programmed each season, catering for the needs of all generations, lovers of the unknown and adherents of the classical. We welcome everyone with open hands, especially appreciating feedback from the patrons who entrust us with their thoughts: how our shows – being etched on their memories forever – touched, changed or astonished them. Our centre not only welcomes visitors from Ljubljana, Slovenia and, ultimately, from all over the world; it serves as a platform for encounters between the past and the present, a platform for myriad discoveries and opinions, findings and endeavours of artists, experts and scientists sharing a similar goal: to penetrate deeper into the mystery of their pursuit. Programming the forthcoming season has been a true challenge and inspiration, as well as a pleasure. Proudly announcing CD’s 2018/19 programme, we sincerely hope that it will also become an indispensable part of your lives.

Cankar on Cankar Festival Until 28 February 2019

Ivan Cankar and Europe From Shakespeare to Kafka An exhibition dedicated to Cankar’s literary legacy, Ivan Cankar and Europe not only commemorates his anniversary but also examines the writer’s art by means of an analysis of influences and interpretations, and juxtaposition with contemporary European writers. It offers an insight into his oeuvre against the European background – how Cankar was integrated into European spiritual tradition, how his work was affected by European thinkers Plato, Karl Marx and Nietzsche, and artists ranging from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Ibsen and Zola. And, especially, how his output relates to those by his European contemporaries, from Thomas Mann to Franz Kafka. It is particularly this context that serves to reveal the great originality of Cankar’s literature, based in Slovenian moral and social traditions. The visually elaborate architectural and graphic layout, supported by audio-visual media, installation art and diverse visual highlights, offers a vivid account of Cankar’s excellence, his overall exquisite aesthetic and artistic vision. In cooperation with the Museums and Galleries of Ljubljana, the National and University Library and the Slovenian Theatre Institute. Additional exhibits have been loaned by Antikvariat Glavan, the National Gallery of Slovenia, the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Slovenian Film Centre.

34th Slovenian Book Fair

Chrysanthemum on Every Stand In the Year of Ivan Cankar, commemorating the centenary of the writer’s death, Slovenian Book Fair will lend a new insight, from various viewpoints, into the grandeur of Cankar’s literary output. Apart from displaying over 20,000 books, the fair’s stands and stages will be adorned with chrysanthemums – in memory of the intrepid revolutionary and as a reverent acknowledgement of his creativity. The Writers’ Stage will mark the 70th anniversary of Drago Jančar, an award-winning contemporary Slovenian author whose works have been translated into several languages. This year’s focus country is Hungary. In the year of Miroslav Vilhar, Ljubljana will host the city of Postojna, while some of the fair’s programme will be featured off-site, in Radovljica. A new addition to the fair is the Cicifest scholarly programme, organised in cooperation with the Faculty of Education Ljubljana. A great deal of attention has thus far been dedicated to children with special needs; this year we are devoting even more time and space especially to them. Furthermore, prominence will be given to young people’s programme at the very heart of the fair, the Debate Café. Publishing Academy will focus on evaluating young-adult literature in international arena, also as a response to the current Slovenian situation. Every day at 5pm, the Forum will feature illustrators, spotlighting their books and images. Over five days and a half (the fair has been prolonged for 12 hours!) almost three hundred events will take place on CD’s six venues. Cankarjev dom premises admission free

We take particular pride in this successful coproduction, a spectacular, comprehensive and first-rate show with outstanding vocal tour de forces.

In interlacing a folk fairy tale with Ibsen’s deeply intimate probing into identity issues, the Maribor-based choreographer attained notable international success. A great testament to the performance’s powerful appeal is its inclusion in the repertoire of the Vienna State Opera. Gallus Hall €15, 18, 20, 24, 13* TUE, 22 January 2019, at 19.30

Sudden death prevented Puccini from completing his final opera, Turandot, whose coherent aesthetic constitutes the final pinnacle of the golden era of Italian belcanto. Maribor Theatre’s highly appealing and elegantly glamourous show features an impressive visual dynamic. Especially noteworthy performances, prominent against the background of rich orchestration and distinctive exotic flavour, are appearances by Rebeka Lokar as the outstanding Turandot, Sabina Cvilak as the graceful slave girl Liù and the accomplished Renzo Zulian in the role of Prince Calaf.

Ideja

Znanost in tehnologija antične Grčije Europeans virtually grow up with ancient Greek mythology, epic poetry, lyric poetry, drama, and tega philosophy. In this regard we are the children of ancient Greeks. K uresničitvi ambicioznega projekta, ki obravnava razNevertheless, ........ an exhibition offering a penetrating insight into the lesser known ancient Greek science and technology will not fail to amaze us. A thematically rich exhibition, Idea: Ancient Greek Science and Technology will form the core of the Mt Olympus Festival and constitute a link connecting diverse festival events, including artistic performances. One of the featured exhibits will be a prototype of the Antikythera mechanism, an exceptionally rare and highly complex ancient Greek mechanism, discovered in 1902 among the wreckage retrieved from a Roman-era shipwreck off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera, 42 metres below sea level. This ancient bronze analogue computer, housed in a surprisingly thin 33-centimetre high, 17-centimetre wide and 9-centimetre long wooden box has been dated to c. 150– 100 BC. The device was used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses for astrological purposes, serving as a 365-day calendar that included leap years, and as a solar and lunar calendar that indicated solar and lunar eclipses. It was also a precursor of the modern-day almanac, containing zodiac dial characters that marked the locations of longitudes on the ecliptic for specific stars. If believing that we have a fairly sound knowledge of Aristotle, Plato, Homer and Sophocles, we are doubtlessly less familiar with Ctesibius, ‘the father of pneumatics’, purportedly a miserably poor inventor and author of the first scientific treatise on the science of compressed air. A prototype of his clepsydra, a water clock invented in 270 BC, will also be on show. It is interesting to note that it measured time more accurately than any of the timepieces invented before the 17th century. Works by present-day artists featured at the festival will seek to reflect ancient Greek resourcefulness and harmony.

Idea

Ancient Greek Science and Technology In realising this ambitious project, showcasing important fields of science and arts, as well as technological achievements in the ancient Greek world, the Science Centre and Technology Museum Noesis in Thessaloniki has joined hands with some of the most prominent contemporary Greek scientists who conduct research into the relevance and far-reaching role of ancient Greek science and technology in the development of Western civilisation. The exhibition also provides a platform for documenting, studying and presenting the vast reservoir of technical knowledge acquired during the centuries of continuous Greek prosperity and development. This knowledge radically changed human life in several areas: from food production and consumption, clothing and life circumstances to science and culture. Some of the most compelling showcased technical areas include architecture and construction technology, mathematics or geometry, mechanics and the Archimedes’ screw, telecommunications and hydraulic telegraph, astronomy and the famous mechanism from the island of Antikythera, automata and mobile automatic theatre, as well as music with a hydraulis or water organ. In addition to explanatory texts and pictorial materials, the exhibition includes 3D-animations, interactive didactic applications, as well as scale models and replicas of ancient instruments.

Croatian National Theatre Ivan Zajc Rijeka Choreography, dance: Åsa UnanderScharin; Music: Carl Unander-Scharin; Directed by: Marin Blažević; Technology, programming: Ludvig Elblaus ReThinking the Art of Opera Through Mechatronics and Audience Interaction Robotic marionettes from abandoned body parts, a network of parasitising sensors, coloratura water for the exploration of underwater acoustics, a choir of hovering drones, gigantic vocal chorder – these are some of Opera Mecatronica’s expressive machines that will provide a coherent experience of the human body and reveal the complex drama of opera singing. In order to be able to articulate such a profound rethinking of opera and yet connect it to the roots of the opera as an art-form, the Mecatronica team has chosen to focus on the artist that embodied such an approach to operatic performance – the mythical Greek soprano Maria Callas. The use of robotic and interactive modules will enable an experience of Callas’ ambivalent destructive-creative handling of the body and consequently of her voice. Linhart, Štih and Kosovel Halls April 2019 Robots Changing the World Lectures accompanying the re-Callas project A gaze into the past, present and future of robotics will be provided by internationally acclaimed experts: Prof. Dr. Alexander Czinki (Germany), Raphaël Rault (France), Hubert Kosler, PhD (Yaskawa Inc.), Prof. Dr. Niko Herakovič (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering University of Ljubljana) In cooperation with the Alumni Club of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Ljubljana

A world-class symphony orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra London constantly broadens the definitions of symphonic music. The Philharmonia has a pioneering approach to the role of the modern-day symphony orchestra, pushing the boundaries of classical music with its visionary projects, and reaching global audiences through advanced technology. Internationally, the Philharmonia is active across Europe, Asia and the USA. Great conductors associated with the orchestra since its early history include R. Strauss, Karajan, Toscanini, Maazel and Muti. Finnish hornist, composer and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen made a sensational debut with the Orchestra in 1983 and went on to build a reputation as one of the finest musicians of his generation. Salonen, today recognised as a preeminent classical musician, has been Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Orchestra since 2008.

A highly versatile ensemble, the orchestra demonstrates its diversity with a broad scope of repertoire and diverse musical partnerships. Enjoying an enviable reputation, the orchestra is praised both for its elegant sound and the ability to capture all the subtle nuances of a musical piece. In the 2015/16 season, the post of the Music Director was entrusted to Gustavo Gimeno, a sought-after conductor of international prominence. He commands an elegant podium manner, while his clear beat and articulate gestures get his ideas across to the players directly. He mesmerises the audiences with his suggestive interpretations, marked by homogenous sound, extreme precision, subtlety and an irresistible Spanish temperament. Pianist Yuja Wang is regularly praised for the clarity of her musical insight, the freshness of her interpretations and charismatic power of her stage presence. Her musical intelligence combined with pianistic thunder and interpretive nuance confirm Wangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status as one of this millenniumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most compelling and engaging artists.

Midori, violin Özgür Aydin, piano

Programme: W. A. Mozart, C. Franck, F. Schubert, O. Respighi All music connoisseurs know the story about an eleven-year-old child prodigy who debuted under the baton of the illustrious Zubin Mehta and developed into a leading violinist of our time. If musical perfection can be said to exist, it is found in Midori’s playing. Unwaveringly dedicated to the idea of pure musical expression, Midori pursues the path of a sought-after concert artist and visionary teacher. She encourages underprivileged children in New York and Japan to obtain a musical education and is actively engaged in charity appeals. Midori’s recurrent chamber partner is Turkish-American pianist Özgür Aydin, who has enchanted the critics and audiences alike with his supple playing, splendid touch and refined taste. The two astounding artists share their love of diversified repertoire and the desire for conveying deeply felt expressivity. Their music-making is utterly compelling, and the finely balanced interplay of instruments virtually unparalleled.

The Stone Series @ Cankarjevi torki Curated by John Zorn In 2005, John Zorn launched The Stone, a club that does not charge commission or aims at generating profit. The Stone has a single goal: to present various types and styles of avant-garde and experimental music. The entire income from the sale of tickets goes to the musicians. After 13 years, the Stone changed its address. Moreover, The Stone is coming to Europe for the first time! To start the European Stone Odyssey, John Zorn will mark his 65th birthday by choosing some of his most compelling works from his ample catalogue. The Stone in Europe will continue in 2019. Some of the most exciting musicians of our times will play their original repertoire. The Stone in Europe Series is organised within the Independent Touring Network, an unstable network of European promoters.

Love Chapter 2

L-E-V Dance Company Creator: Sharon Eyal; Co-creator: Gai Behar; Music: Ori Lichtik No ballet slippers, just black socks. Six dancers, three men and three women, slide across the stage in different formations. Invariably, it is the woman that sets the pace, establishing relationships, the male bodies adapt and follow. The relationships never end in a duet, a point everyone continues to veer towards but never actually reaches. It soon transpires that Love Chapter 2 is a take on loneliness, absence of love, lack of happiness and longing for intimacy. The more the dancers seek love, the more obsessively, aggressively and passionately they try to get hold of it, the less likelihood – and less hope – there is of ever finding it. The dancers, possessing technical brilliance and signature artistic style, make light work of the hour-long tour de force. Flaring up like the pain of the unattainable, the dancers’ choreographic lexicon escalates, governed by a metronomically precise musical matrix. Only to be cut short at the culminating point, the point of no return, by – a stage curtain. Gallus Hall €16, 18, 22, 26, 13*

Dança Sinfônica, Gira

Grupo Corpo Choreography: Rodrigo Pederneiras; Music: Marco Antônio Guimarães, Metá Metá 2015 marked the 40th anniversary of Grupo Corpo, a legendary Brazilian dance company. Created to celebrate this special occasion by Grupo Corpo’s current artistic director, Paulo Pederneiras, Dança Sinfônica combines musical passages from ballets recently produced by Grupo Corpo with a variety of choreographic elements that have over the past four decades become the group’s trademark. Revisiting the best works from Grupo Corpo’s entire repertoire, Pederneiras’ Dança Sinfônica is a synthesis of the group’s rich, compelling and distinctive choreographic scripture. Blending ‘historical elements’, Paulo Pederneiras, whose residence with the company spans a period of over thirty years, thus created a fresh, innovative and gripping show, a visual and musical treat, which fully satisfies our craving for South American cultural delicacies. Gira, the group’s latest production, is sheer delight. Echoing Brazil’s cultural heterogeneity – being a melting pot of hundreds, if not thousands, of races, peoples and cultures that have socially assimilated throughout the centuries of coexisting, Gira reflects the vibrant diversity of Brazil’s dance and music scenes. Gira is an overview of Brazil’s popular music, a recapitulation of Latin America’s basic dance steps, of dances whose popularity has spread throughout the world. Its invigorating dance and music, and varicoloured set and costume design, provide a veritable instruction book on the joy of living. Gallus Hall €17, 21, 25, 28, 14*

Humans

Circa Contemporary Circus Creation: Yaron Lifschitz, Circa Ensemble; Directed by: Yaron Lifschitz; Technical Director: Jason Organ On the cutting edge of contemporary circus, Circa, based in Brisbane, Australia, assigns the main role to humans. Dispensing with props, dazzling set design and renouncing animals, Circa’s cast includes exclusively people. Blending dance, acrobatics and circus elements, a team of highly skilled acrobats test their powers of endurance and perform remarkable feats of strength. Fusing extreme physicality, consummate acrobatic skills and dance choreography, Humans delves into the mysteries of human body, its limitations, its beauty and transience. A gripping piece of physical poetry, Humans reminds us that human body is one of the most beautiful, most powerful, but most vulnerable organisms in the world. It is a spectacle driven by inventiveness, the human body and ways of transcending physical barriers. A spectacle of raw corporeality in the service of imagination and art.

Death in Venice

Ballet of the Slovenian National Theatre Maribor, Ballet of the Croatian National Theatre Zagreb Choreography, concept: Valentina Turcu based on T. Mann’s eponymous novella; Music: Gustav Mahler Thomas Mann termed his novella Death in Venice as a “tragedy of degradation”, a degradation shared by numerous aesthetes and modernist artist during the fin de siècle (Oscar Wilde), and rendered even more poignant today, in a debased world of reality shows and narcissistic hyperproduction of tweets and selfies, which – paradoxically – distance us from each other even more palpably. In radically investigating the contrasts in movement, the differences between the etheric elegance of Tadzio and the inner pessimistic turmoil of Gustav Aschenbach – an artist on a quest for beauty, internationally acknowledged choreographer Valentina Turcu aims to create “a perpetual movement of the soul”, that is, she seeks to illuminate the multifaceted aspects of an aged artist’s emotional odyssey – an artist worn out by the search for spiritual fulfilment in beauty, who has ended up on the dark side of life, dying a living death in a sinking city plagued by an unnamed epidemic.

Appearance / Disappearance

The creative duo leading the Marseille ballet ensemble and ICK Amsterdam, Emio Greco and Pieter C. Sholten, is returning to Cankarjev dom with a duo of thematically linked and coherent projects that will be presented as a double-bill exclusively in Ljubljana! Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children), poems written by Friedrich Rückert (in an outpouring of grief following the death of two of his children), were set to music as a song cycle by Gustav Mahler. Appearance addresses the issues of youth, youthful naivety, the brevity and transience of childhood, conducting its exploration with great originality – combining a professional dance ensemble, video images and live music accompaniment with a children’s choir. Disappearance deals with impermanence, with mortality. The voices that radiated life in Appearance, are now emerging merely as remembrances, as pictures – images of things past, and reminiscences. Although bodies are still here, adult, mature, strong, they are already marked by signs of aging and decay. And it is this process that focuses on reviving memories, which can be perpetually preserved by means of advanced technology – projection –, and on spotlighting the real-life bodies of twenty consummately skilled dancers struggling to keep the images alive and searching for the irrevocably lost time.

A Love Supreme

Rosas Choreography: Salva Sanchis, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker; Music: John Coltrane, A Love Supreme; Co-production: De Munt/La Monnaie A Love Supreme, a dance quartet created by Salva Sanchis and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, is based on John Coltrane’s eponymous album. On A Love Supreme, Coltrane and his musicians, pianist McCoy Tyner, double bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones, deployed a compelling and deceptively simple musical structure to allow for complete freedom of improvisation, continuously pushing the boundaries of every musical register. This freedom of creation, i.e. improvisation, allows an entrancing and literal translation into dance: for this performance, the choreographers took on the challenge of blending improvisation and composition into a seamless choreographic whole. The energetic dance interpretation embodies and mirrors the continued vitality of Coltrane’s music, whilst heralding the freedom and choreographic challenge provided by music.

Gypsy, yet so Beautiful

Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb Directed by: Ivica Buljan; Text by: Kristian Novak; Stage adaptation: Ivor Martinić Young Roma Sandokan falls in love with Milena, a ‘white’ woman from Medimurje. In her late forties and wrongfully dismissed from her job, Milena returns to her native village of Sabolščak to care for her headstrong grandfather. Nuzat, a Kurd from Mosul, leaves his family and flees a war-ravaged country to lead a quiet existence in Calais. Plančić, a PR officer working for the Zagreb police directorate, is assigned field work to cover up a murder that could incite violence and cause a major political scandal. All these anti-heroes are not typical representatives of ethnic or social groups; they are noble people on the margins of society who do not fit the common stereotypes and empathically dispel the preconceived notions people have of them. The characters’ paths branch off and ultimately unite around a savage murder. Novak’s novel and its stage adaptation directed by Ivica Buljan offer a complex social and emotional representation of diverse identities. The adaptation follows the writer’s elaborate style, incorporating elements of crime story, melodrama, documentary materials, social drama and pop (sub)culture, which includes songs of the Roma.

Einstein’s Dreams

Yugoslav Drama Theatre Directed by: Slobodan Unkovski; Stage adaptation: Rusomir Bogdanovski The novel by American physicist and writer Alan Lightman is a collage of poetic vignettes, featuring exquisite verbal texture and rich imaginary world. The novel fictionalises Einstein as a young scientist troubled by dreams as he works on his theory of relativity. A sheer theatrical delight, the performance gives an impression of being visualised poetry and a 120-minute fantastical journey in time.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Yugoslav Drama Theatre Directed by: Maja Maletković In a little more than an hour, which simply flies by, the Yugoslav Drama Theatre’s young, accomplished acting ensemble – led by brilliant Nikola Đuričko – reveals all the inconsistencies surrounding the death of an anarchist. Under a guise of comedy lurks the world of organised crime, official corruption, political liquidations, religious hatred… It sounds awfully familiar, even though the text by Nobel laureate Dario Fo was written as early as in 1971.

Fight Bright Choreography: Milan Tomášik; Music: Simon Thierrée; Production: KUD Cortesia, Cankarjev dom

A continuation and a comprehensive enhancement of the principles and postulates applied by Slovak dancer and choreographer Milan Tomášik and his team to Hunting Season (2014) and Silver Blue (2015); Fight Bright thus completes the choregraphic trilogy. Tomášik combines physical exploration of movement and the interrelations arising therefrom with process-oriented psychology developed by American therapist Arnold Mindell.

The play La musica II (1985) is an adaptation of Musica (1965), a composition Duras reworked two decades later in order “to revisit and put an edge on the despair over the separation of two people who once loved each other.” CD Club 52

Bent

Directed by: Alen Jelen; Production: Ĺ KUC Association, Cankarjev dom

Less than 25 years ago, Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play (1979), revolving around the issue of homosexuality in Third Reich, was shunned by all institutional theatres. The time for an examination of such issues was simply not ripe in Slovenia. Today, the story about the persecution of gays in Nazi Germany has better chances of being staged institutionally. Nevertheless, current theatre repertoires reveal that works addressing such specific, marginal issues are still sparsely programmed. The play remains of relevance today, at a time of rising right-wing extremism and Nazism. The production fuses elements of drama, sound and video. Kosovel Hall 53

February 2019 David Mamet

Oleanna

The two-character play by David Mamet addresses the touchy subject of sexual abuse. Premiered in the US in 1992 and a year later at London’s Royal Court Theatre, the play immediately became a runaway success. Intricately woven dialogues, unexpected turns, lucid analysis of social realities and in-depth psychological portraits are the defining characteristics and qualities of Mamet’s text. Štih Hall

An orchestra without musicians, a dance ensemble without dancers. We’re facing a void. Global capitalism, administrative procedures, a war without end and without battles. Logistics predominates. What tears us away from what we love to engage in what we don’t love? Let’s pull the rug out from under totalitarian regime, let’s set radar clutters to interfere with definitions of the general, so that we might reinvent the singular and the collective.

The film challenges numerous myths about Ivan Cankar, who was believed to be a chronic alcoholic and a psychopath, wetting his bed and thus constantly failing with women. An attentive lover, Cankar had a cheerful disposition, he was sociable, a master of pleasantries and a great wit. The film polemises the rumour concerning Cankar’s controversial death, and includes footage of the run-up to the celebrations marking the centennial of Cankar’s death and the stagings of two of his plays.

13th Slovenian Biennial of Illustration A central overview of Slovenian illustration, the Biennial unites older and younger generations of illustrators employing diverse artistic methods and rewards their finest achievements with the Hinko Smrekar Award, as well as the Smrekar distinctions and accolades. Maintaining high standards of creativity and testifying to the excellence of Slovenian illustration, the event showcases the latest artistic methods and techniques employed in illustration: re-imagined painting techniques, illustration incorporating elements of film, comic strip, animated film, electronic media and other advanced technologies. The show thus provides an invaluable platform for recognising the importance of illustration, an artform decisively co-shaping – in its major children’s book segment – the visual perception and understanding of young readers, and having a responsible role in education – as a pictorial language co-creating human consciousness and crucially influencing mental development. Jury members selecting the artists and awarding prizes include: Monika Ivančič Fajfar, Sarival Sosič, PhD, Radovan Jenko, Peter Škerl, Nina Pirnat Spahić In cooperation with the Section of Illustrators of the Union of Slovenian Fine Arts Associations

Being an architect, he primarily takes photos of architecture, which provides a backdrop for living rather than being life itself – furnishing a stage on which life takes place.

A story about a river thus began to emerge, a narrative abounding in myths and legends. Velikonja gradually accumulated an extraordinary body of work, black-and-white photographs documenting different parts of the day, capturing reflections, shadows, flickering light and descending mists. He followed the waterway to populated places, all the way to the city centre, Plečnik’s bridges and marketplace. 2Z8A3231.CR2 1

Subterranean Worlds A keen explorer of the underground world, Gedei has pursued cave photography since the early 1990s, achieving world-renown as a major cave photographer. Involving absence of light, cave photography is a challenging pursuit. Photographers must thus think creatively about ways to illuminate the dark caverns. Artworks of great power, Gedei’s photographs reveal the artist’s extensive experience and a heightened sense of space, light and aesthetic. A blank canvas on which one paints with light, cave photography requires a full application of one’s abilities and resources but is well worth the effort. Small Gallery admission free

With his mind’s eye, he has the ability to move faster than the speed of light, to capture moments in time and share them with the world through his photographs. The camera in his hands transforms shadow and light from commonplace into truly extraordinary human experiences. He is an improviser, a chronicler of life in real time, a poet, a philosopher, a free spirit, a song in anticipation of being sung.” Small Gallery admission free

International Literature Festival Fabula annually presents some of the most relevant international authors, and has featured Booker, Goncourt and Nobel laureates and published their works in Slovenian translation at affordable festival prices.

The topic chosen for 2019 is ‘Walls that Divide Us’; marking the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and seeking to thematise invisible barriers, from political to emotional, that separate people. The first event of Fabula before Fabula (25–28 February 2019), A Night of Ideas, co-organised by the French Institute and taking place on 31 January, features philosopher, sociologist and anthropologist Bruno Latour.

Marko Pogačnik’s Workshop

Sculptor Marko Pogačnik’s annual workshops address two topics by means of an inspirational speech, an exhortation or pep talk aimed at engaging both the attendees’ minds and their emotional core. The 2019 Workshop’s first topic is life path as a path of inner personal experiences that allow for collective transition of humanity to a new era of peace and co-existence among creatures of different spatial dimensions, including rocks, plants, elementary beings and the angelical dimensions of living space. The other topic is associated with Pogačnik’s new book Slovenija čudežna (Magical Slovenia), which lends an entirely new insight into the homogeneity of Slovenia’s geographical area. Štih Hall single workshop €8, 6* combined price €14 78
