Slovenian Drama in Translation

  1. Camera Obscura: Big festive one act play

    “And so, on a Shrove Tuesday night, all these people meet ‘by chance’ in a half-built flat. That is the start of a story that needs to unwind before our eyes in a single theatrical stroke with all its rises and falls, as is typical of such carnivalesque, unpredictable and entirely drunken nights.”

  2. Romeo and Juliet Were Refugees

    It’s not just people who are running from war that are refugees. A refugee is anyone who lives in their own country but cannot live off their work. These people are refugees in their own nation, amongst their own people, in a system that used and discarded them, even though they played an important role in it. We live in times of global refugees. We are convinced that other people are refugees, but in fact we are, too.

  3. Use and Discard Me

    “Where do you get you inspiration from? You’ve probably never been to war … But when I read and listen to your poetry, I think, fuck, this man has lived some.”

  4. Seven Days

    “I'm watching shit, I’m not reading, I’m not doing anything, fuck, Ljubljana, it really isn’t cool, fuck, tomorrow I’ll start … tomorrow …”

  5. The Nymph Dies

    They performed Anna Karenina and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. They performed Madame Bovary and Mrs. Chatterley’s Pet. Isolde began to visit the library. Her visits were so frequent that the librarian asked her if she had perhaps taken up the study of comparative literature! They performed at least a hundred scenes from world classics; at first faithfully, then less and less as the author had imagined them, and more and more as the bright Isolde had imagined them.
