Three performances from Via Nova series
Being Ignacij Borštnik is a common title for three Via Nova performances that relate closely with the context of Maribor Theatre Festival, which owes its name “to Ignacij Borštnik (1858-1919), an actor, a stage director and the founder of modern Slovenian theatre. He was the first Slovenian stage director in the contemporary sense of the word and a superb actor, excelling in the most demanding roles, particularly in modern realistic theatre at the turn of the 20th century.” Each performance offers one of possible answer to the question what means to be Ignacij Borštnik: – to use the talent to the last drop of sweat, – to persevere with the ambition no matter the price, – to love the theatre and audience to exhaustion.
