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.
