Every Autumn since 1966, various Slovene theatres have met in Maribor at the Borštnikovo srečanje (Borštnik Meeting). The festival is named after Ignacij Borštnik, founder of the Slovene artistic theatre. He was the first Slovene theatre director in the modern sense of the word, and a master craftsman of the most demanding roles, especially from turn-of-the-century modernist realism.

This most prestigious event is the largest annual review of Slovene theatre and theatre performances. In addition to repertory theatres from Maribor, Ljubljana, Nova gorica, Celje, Kranj, Koper and Trst, selected independent theatre productions are also presented.
+
==History==
 +
The festival took place for the first time in 1966 under the name ''Slovene Drama Week'' and was renamed the Borštnik Meeting in 1972 (today its Slovene name is still Festival Borštnikovo srečanje, but it has come to be known as the Maribor Theatre Festival in English). Prior to 1990, the festival was also held in other Slovene towns; in the 1990s, there were several unsuccessful attempts to move the festival from Maribor to Ljubljana. Until 1992, all professional Slovene theatres presented at least one production at the festival's competition program, with independent productions appearing only in the off-programme. Subsequently, the selection became more rigorous, including only the most representative theatre productions. The 1990s saw protests from numerous independent theatre producers and makers, arguing that with the festival's existing conceptually-closed orientation, it did not represent actual theatre production nor acknowledge the variety of aesthetics, poetics, approaches, and procedures.
 +
 
 +
On its 45th anniversary, the festival was reorganised and internationalised. In addition to selected Slovene performances by repertory theatres from Maribor, Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, Celje, Kranj, Ptuj, Koper, and Trieste, as well as by a few independent theatre producers, the festival's program featured international performances. A special showcase selection addressed international professionals who also participated in debates and symposia.
 +
 
 +
Since 1994, the selector of the festival has had a two-year mandate. The jury usually comprises four to five persons (critics, directors, writers, theorists, artists, etc.). The [[Borštnik Ring Award and Borštnik Awards|Borštnik Ring Award]] recipient is selected by a different jury.
 +
 
 +
The festival is named after [[Ignacij Borštnik]] (1858–1919), a director, actor, playwright, translator, and the founder of the Slovene artistic theatre. He was the first Slovene theatre director in the modern sense of the word and a master craftsman of the most demanding roles, especially from turn-of-the-century modernist realism.

Each year, around 10 new performances are presented in the selected competition program of the Maribor Theatre Festival. These stagings compete for the following [[Borštnik Ring Award and Borštnik Awards|Borštnik Awards]]: best performance (Borštnik Grand Prix), best director, best actor, best young actor, and other achievements such as set design, costume design, lighting design, musical score, and other artistic categories, along with a special jury award. The award of the [[Association of Theatre Critics and Researchers of Slovenia]] for the best performance in the previous season is also presented.
 +
 
 +
The accompanying non-competitive program consists of interesting performances from the previous season, often created by a younger generation of authors whose innovative approaches to creating performances challenge the established concepts and boundaries of theatre. Additionally, performances by international artists and theatre houses are included.

 +
The Maribor Theatre Festival also presents the annual production of the [[Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT)]], and it has recently started running an international student program.

Every autumn since 1966, various Slovene theatres have gathered in Maribor for the Maribor Theatre Festival (known in Slovene as Borštnikovo srečanje). This prestigious event, organized by and held at the Slovene National Theatre Maribor, is the largest annual review of Slovene theatre production. The festival awards the Borštnik Ring Award, the highest accolade for theatre actors in Slovenia. Additionally, Borštnik Awards are bestowed for outstanding achievements in directing, acting, and other categories.



History

The festival took place for the first time in 1966 under the name Slovene Drama Week and was renamed the Borštnik Meeting in 1972 (today its Slovene name is still Festival Borštnikovo srečanje, but it has come to be known as the Maribor Theatre Festival in English). Prior to 1990, the festival was also held in other Slovene towns; in the 1990s, there were several unsuccessful attempts to move the festival from Maribor to Ljubljana. Until 1992, all professional Slovene theatres presented at least one production at the festival's competition program, with independent productions appearing only in the off-programme. Subsequently, the selection became more rigorous, including only the most representative theatre productions. The 1990s saw protests from numerous independent theatre producers and makers, arguing that with the festival's existing conceptually-closed orientation, it did not represent actual theatre production nor acknowledge the variety of aesthetics, poetics, approaches, and procedures.

On its 45th anniversary, the festival was reorganised and internationalised. In addition to selected Slovene performances by repertory theatres from Maribor, Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, Celje, Kranj, Ptuj, Koper, and Trieste, as well as by a few independent theatre producers, the festival's program featured international performances. A special showcase selection addressed international professionals who also participated in debates and symposia.

Since 1994, the selector of the festival has had a two-year mandate. The jury usually comprises four to five persons (critics, directors, writers, theorists, artists, etc.). The Borštnik Ring Award recipient is selected by a different jury.

The festival is named after Ignacij Borštnik (1858–1919), a director, actor, playwright, translator, and the founder of the Slovene artistic theatre. He was the first Slovene theatre director in the modern sense of the word and a master craftsman of the most demanding roles, especially from turn-of-the-century modernist realism.
