Writing on the Scene, Writing for the Scene
The current issue of Maska Journal brings forth a thematic focus on playwriting; not in the sense of a review of the whole cur- rent local and regional production but instead with an emphasis on its most vital, experimental, event-driven, carnal, borderline (yet no longer marginal) segment. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large part of articles in this issue is dedicated to the work of theatre creator Simona Semenič who is considered as one of the innovators in that sense.
This focus of the issue is also responding to the still resounding echo of her receiving the Prešeren Fund Award in 2018; on this occasion Teja Reba and Janez Janša curated a festival Abonma Simona Semenič (Seasonal Ticket for Simona Semenič).
