The Republic of Slovenia / Republika Slovenija (english subtitles)

Описание: A performance commemorating the 25th anniversary of Slovenian independence

This is a performance The Republic of Slovenia. In it, a retired intelligence officer tells a story about counting millions, then six important men ponder the fate of Slovenia which is turning into a mafia state, and in the end soldiers of character deal with a spy of character. This is a performance The Republic of Slovenia. It has been running for twenty-five years and it has been produced with your money. And all this time you have been – as an extra or as a big player – its part.

To celebrate its sixtieth anniversary, the Mladinsko Theatre, one of the most recognisable ambassadors of Slovenian art internationally, has committed itself to look with pride into events which have constituted the state, which have left a crucial imprint of the national fibre and have awakened us as national subjects, as citizens. The theatre is joined by the Maska Institute, founded at the exact same time as the events which made the Republic of Slovenia became the way she is.

Our citizen duty is to look at the post-independence period; at the time when dreams were no longer sufficient or allowed.

All the authors of the performance will remain anonymous. In this context, the individual simply isn’t important. What is important is the stat(ur)e.

Let's shed light on the foundations of our young Republic and rekindle our patriotic feelings.

REPUBLIKA SLOVENIJA
Ob 25. obletnici osamosvojitve

Koprodukcija: Slovensko mladinsko gledališče in Maska Ljubljana

Premiera: 20. april 2016



To je predstava Republika Slovenija. V njej upokojeni obveščevalec pove zgodbo o štetju milijonov, nato šesterica pomembnih mož tuhta o Sloveniji, ki se spreminja v mafijsko državo, na koncu pa se kleni vojaki lotijo klenega vohuna. To je predstava Republika Slovenija. Traja petindvajset let in je narejena z vašim denarjem. In ves ta čas ste – kot statisti ali glavni igralci – njen del.

Ob svoji šestdesetletnici se je Slovensko mladinsko gledališče, eden vidnejših ambasadorjev slovenske umetnosti v tujini, zavezalo, da bo s ponosnim pogledom seglo h konstitutivnim državnim dogodkom, ki so ključno ožigosali narodovo tkivo in nas prebudili kot narodne subjekte, kot državljane. Pridružila se mu je Maska, ki je nastala natanko takrat kot dogodki, zaradi katerih je Republika Slovenija postala takšna, kakršna je.

Naša državljanska dolžnost je ozreti se na poosamosvojitveno obdobje; na čas, ko sanje niso bile več dovolj(ene).

Vsi avtorji predstave bodo ostali anonimni. Posameznik v tem kontekstu preprosto ni pomemben. Pomembna je drža(va).
