INVITATION TO OUR FESTIVAL »PRELET«

A SHOWCASE OF THE MLADINSKO THEATRE AND GLEJ THEATRE
Ljubljana, 24. 5. – 31. 5. 2012
The Mladinsko Theatre organised the first Overflight Festival in 2007. It was conceived as an overview of the performances of our theatre, which for more than half a century has been opening, widening and questioning the conventional margins of the theatre art. This year, for the first time, we're preparing it in cooperation with Glej Theatre, an independent theatre organisation with whom we share similar understanding of art and its role in the society. We’re preparing the opening and closing of the festival together with the Croatian festival Perforacije. All the performances will be surtitled in English.

We hope that we can welcome you in Ljubljana during our 6th festival.

DAMNED at Festivals in BRUSSELS, MONTREAL

As a part of the official program of famous KUNSTEN FESTIVAL DES ARTS in Brussels (May, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th) and TRANSAMERIQUES in Montreal (May, 30, 31st, June 1st) we will present our show Damned be the Traitor of his homeland! by a new star of Croatian theatre Oliver Frljić.

The performance radically deals with love and hate for theatre,the framework for the questioning of the limits of artistic and civic freedom are the fragments of the story about the disintegration of Yugoslavia, dilemmas we all encounter, but often willingly turn a blind eye to them. That the topic is universal was confirmed during very successful performances at the prominent festivals in Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina (MES), in the USA, Slovakia, Serbia (Bitef), Finland (Stage), Poland (Dialog), and by new invitations to Germany (Theaterformen, Neue Stücke aus Europa) …

The Lost Honour by Matjaž Pograjc

One of the leading Slovene (physical) theatre directors Matjaž Pograjc, an associated artist of Mladinsko Theatre is preparing his latest show based on a short novel The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum (1972), a literary pamphlet by the Nobel Prize winner Heinrich Böll. In a highly unusual, physical and provocative performance based on an adaptation by Blažka Mueller Pograjc, he will deal with the question: How violence develops and where it can lead. Böll's a five-day story of sensationalist journalism, of a media lynch by the tabloids that destroys the life of the 27-year-old housekeeper Katharina Blum, is a staring point for a performative event questioning the very essence of today's postdemocratic neoliberal society devalvating human rights.
