Mateja Bučar: BILA BI PALMA
The perversion of destiny, otherwise known as reality, is a flow of various interpretations as well as creations of the human mind. Bila bi palma is a dream of travelling into an exotic world and of living another, different and dreamlike life, while in fact we remain to be confronted with stillness, motionlessness and confinement to one single spot. And this after all is the reality in which our search for the path between dreams and real life genuinely takes place. (more…)

Neven Korda: ECHOES
»Great stories have passed. The past great stories have passed. The world collapsed into a multitude of fragments. Multitudes of fragments have passed. What comes is fear. What comes is dictatorship and confinement. What comes is the dreadful truth of slavery. Little vicious characters come to stand at the forehead of the armies of malice.« (more…)
Public discussion: INVESTING IN CULTURE
Non-governmental organisations in the area of culture and art are confronted with the challenge of searching for alternative sources of funding, since public subsidies frequently turn out to be insufficient for the execution of programs in a quality manner. When approaching potential investors and sponsors, however, NGOs often receive negative responses with a repetitive explanation, claiming that companies have no benefit from investing in culture. The recession has made this problem even more acute. (more…)
Sebastijan Horvat: MANIFEST K.
»Capitalist relations have profoundly inscribed themselves in all relations of a man’s social symbiosis. Every theatre performance likewise emerges from the very horizon, which itself produces bourgeois economic relations. What remains to be answered then is if it is at all possible in the first place and, if so, how to disentangle oneself from the basic economy of a theatre performance, which places a spectator in a position of a coldblooded judge, distanced from a performance, where general boredom and intimate personal boredom overlap, leaving a spectator consoled with the pleasure of exteriority and with a feeling, which conveys presence of meaning.«
