History

Theatre performances are just a cornerstone of the Crossings Festival, which is also designed as a social and professional event. To connect local stakeholders in the performing arts, performances are staged not only on the Intimate Stage, GT22 but also at the Maribor Puppet Theatre, Slovene National Theatre Maribor, II. Gymnasium Maribor, and on the streets of Maribor.

Programme

The festival presents contemporary, generically undefined, independent, puppet, kinetic, devised, experimental and street theatre.

The festival's mission – developing independent theatre – also stems from its desire to promote an open and inclusive solidarity-based society, a society without prejudice and fear. The sociopolitical component is necessary because, according to organizers, the contemporary independent theatre is open, creative, inclusive and uncompromising, with a special emphasis on the socio-political context in which it has been created or which is addressed by its content. The performances could be described as amusing, political or aesthetic, but in fact they are much more. Its programmes have included performances from countries throughout Europe and the Middle East as well as from the UK and the United States. Typically, their programme encourages spectators towards new reflections, considerations and views.
