Drugajanje Festival, 2nd-4th December 2014, Maribor

The times we live in require courage! Not headless bumping into problems, require people who are capable of contemplation, insight and only then comes the turn for courage in action. Especially the City of Maribor witnessed the fact that sometimes revolt is important but an even more important part follows – the establishment of the new after the revolt itself! Young people have to be involved in decision-making processes and art is one way of empowering the youth, to enter first into the arena of contemplation and then action. This year’s program is poking the youth. Drugajanje 2014 will be almost like “In-yer-face theatre”, where young people will not only be invited but drawn to participation and contemplation. Engagement is the key word of all performances hosted and they will also be accompanied by artist talks. Two workshops will be dedicated to acquisition of new knowledge, some from the past and other from the present. This year Drugajanje will be accompanied by the project Theatre Playground, a program focus for primary schools. Thus the Drugajanje tradition will be continued which makes contemporary engaged art accessible to the youth. The invitation to participate in the creating processes, not being merely consumers of art, will hopefully contribute to the acquisition of knowledge, ideas and courage for change.
