Abstract

The theatre's geographic position - situated at the junction of two cultures, represented on one hand by the 'old town' of Gorizia in Italy and on the other by the new town of Nova Gorica in Slovenia - has exerted a substantial influence on its role and orientation of the theatre. The repertoire of SNG Nova Gorica comprises contemporary and classical plays staged by established as well as younger Slovene directors and also by several directors from abroad (eg Andreas Ingenhaag, Georgij Paro, Paolo Magelli, Janusz Kica). The programme features new texts by Slovene and foreign authors; special emphasis is placed on the Theatre of the Absurd (Ionesco, Beckett), Mediterranean authors (Goldoni, Ruzante, Machiavelli, Držić etc), and comedies. SNG Nova Gorica stages six premieres per season with guest actors often joining the permanent cast of 21 actors. Almost half of SNG Nova Gorica productions are presented on tour in Slovenia or abroad. Two of its subscription seasons are aimed at children (The Tiny Snail, The Big Snail), while for young theatre lovers the activities of the Youth Stage, as well as the ongoing theatre and dance summer workshops, will be of interest. In addition to its regular programme, the theatre participates in co-productions and organises guest performances by Slovene and foreign theatre, music, ballet and dance groups. In 2001 SNG Nova Gorica joined the European Theatre Convention (ETC), and in 2004 it organised the ETC festival with the title Theatres of Europe: Mirror of Displaced Populations, which was funded by the European Commission and its Culture 2000 programme. The Festival took place in early 2004 and included 16 performances from around the world, including groups from Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Italy, France, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovakia, Norway, Lithuania and Slovenia. Four of these performances were world premieres. SNG Nova Gorica was one of initiators of the New European Theatre Action (NETA).
