ANIMAL FARM
George Orwell – Andrej Rozman Roza
The novel Animal Farm, which George Orwell published in August 1945, after some failed attempts, was long read as a criticism of Stalinist totalitarianism, but actually the model fits any totalitarianism, even the current plutocracy. The obvious questions are as follows: Is positive utopia still possible? What to offer to the young generations, if any system can degenerate to a type of totalitarianism? Is it necessary to offer them a well thought out system, or is it better to teach them values, and the same time warn them of possible mistakes? If they see the past in the present and learn for the future, are we on a good path to a better tomorrow?

TOWER
Ivo Svetina
German poet Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843) sang in the »poor times « and asked himself, »why poets«. His time was also the time of the downfall of the French revolution and the beginning of human right struggles. Despite his total commitment to poetry, Hölderlin was a man of body and heart. His love to Susette Gontard, a banker’s wife, gave birth to verses dedicated to Dotima, and the death of his chosen one gave birth to insanity, which led to a year in a mental asylum and forty years in Tübingen, with Ernst Zimmer, a carpenter, in a house with a tower near Neckar River.

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN KNIGHTS
Aleksander Sergejevič Puškin
»Is there really no one prettier than me,
Pale, more delicate than me?”
Pray, mirror, what say thee?
“Pretty, yes, for all to see;
But princess, so say we,
Is paler, delicate even more than thee,”
The queen is raging,
Stomping, flailing,
Shaking the mirror,
Threatening the seer.
In vain. Envy burns,
In anger blood just churns;
She throws away the glass
Summons wicked lass
(she was her maid)
Summoned her and said;
Take the princess to the wood
Tie her up real’ good
Set her ‘neath the tree
For wolves the feast she’ll be.

LEONCE AND LENA
Georg Büchner
“For some reason, nobody who works in theatre can pass the piece Leonce and Lena. It was written by, according our standards, an abnormally young writer and poet. Hidden inside this comedy are questions of the purpose of our involvement in society, about an individual and the whole. Questions about laziness, hard work, power, disbursement of goods, wealth, hunger, poverty, the purpose of existence, sacrifice for other, love, being in love, eroticism and egocentrism set in the beginning of 19th century, and these questions still puzzle us. If it is true that we have become a society of narcissists and egocentrics, who only worry about their desires, the question appears, what the fulfilment of this desires means. /…/

LAILA
Po motivih animiranih filmov Michaele Pavlátove
Laila is a girl, or a young woman, responding to the world around her, to the small events around and inside her. Those events are easily overlooked, but they weave the fabric of her and our lives. The creators of the show hold dear Pavlatova’s special sensitivity, and they find a challenge in portraying thoughts, emotions and other elements of life that seem impossible to portray by puppets.

CRIME
If ya wanna fly up high, dough is your fare, set to go and don’t ask where. Any time, any where, just be ready, they don’t care You need your smarts, and business wise, just don’t be bad. They use the bad, they never pay. No crime, no hawkin’ - I’d be gone by now, would not be milking this cash cow. Crime does pay and crime’s da game, so, yo, my fried, why don’t ya play?
(Emir Rešić)
