Janez Janša
SLOVENE NATIONAL THEATRE

May 17 at 5.30 pm
Venue: Cankarjev dom (Kosovelova dvorana)
Duration: 80 minutes

This is a performance that deals with sonic dimensions of mass political rage. Slovene National Theatre reconstructs a real historical event: the political demonstrations that took place in certain Slovenian villages in 2006 and protested against coexistence with the Roma community. The story of the conflict between the two communities, which was a sensational media event, is enacted through the theatrical forms of an antique chorus, radio play, and television and radio broadcasts. The combination of classical theatrical forms and contemporary media involvement culminates to create a deeply moving theatrical event and once again opens the question of tragedy in our time.
