Slovene national theatre

Slovene National Theatre reconstructs the actual historical events: political demonstrations that took place in several villages across Slovenia in the year 2006. It performs the story about the conflict of two communities, which proved to be a prime media event, through the theatrical forms of Antique chorus and radio and television transmission.

The combination of the traditional theatre form with contemporary mediality creates a shattering event and re-opens the question of tragedy in the present day. Slovene National Theatre is the fifth part of the project Program! and the first repeatable event in which Janez Janša resumes the procedures and approaches, developed through the first four manifestations of the project.
