The oldest and the most prominent theatre festival in Slovenia will conclude on June 12th with the awarding of festival prizes and the Borštnik Ring.
Today we're at the theatre talking to a Macedonian theatre and film director who has been living in Slovenia for 6 years now. Meet Aleksandar Popovski, the Artistic Director at the Drama SNG Maribor. He calls theatre his home and a special place in which he can create other versions of the world. He praises Slovenia's audience noting its fine taste for theatre, opera, ballet, and arts in general. Having worked in around 15 countries so far, he says it's nice to work in Slovenia where everyone behaves like a professional. He also loves the relationship between people and nature in Slovenia. To find out more about Aleksandar, as well as theatre and film work in general, join us in our "Land of Dreams". Aleksandar's music choice: Low Roar - "Don't Be So Serious".

We are not used to this kind of Dave:) Some new words, also in the Carinthian dialect that Dave learned today: MLADA DAMA means YOUNG LADY, PRIPOROČATI – TO RECOMEND, SPLAVAR is a RAFTER, STAREJŠI BRAT is OLDER BROTHER, PLESATI – TO DANCE, GIBLJIVI means MOVABLE, POSKOČNI – BOUNCY, GLEDALIŠČE is THEATRE, KNJIŽNICA – LIBRARY and REŠI ME – SAVE ME!
Dave SURPRISED – JE PRESENETIL Fani WITH FLOWERS – Z ROŽAMI, COFFEE – KAVA, PANCAKES - PALAČINKE and TICKETS – VSTOPNICE for the THEATRE - GLEDALIŠČE. Every year we mark INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY – MEDNARODNI DAN ŽENA and Dave wanted Fani to feel special today. Well, he almost did…
My guest this week is a man of many talents. Stand-up comedy, acting, puppet theatre, writing and rapping are amongst them and he is easy to talk to. Enthusiastic and funny and he brings some tracks that may be new to you as well.
Recently my guest this week returned to Slovene television screens to act in the role of lawyer Borut Žalar. I thought it would be interesting to discuss the life of an actor, particularly one who is so well known. Rok Vihar started his acting when he was still at secondary school as one of a small group who started a school acting group in co-operation with the National Theatre in Maribor. More than 20 years later he seems very comfortable to say acting is his life along with home and family, it’s all part of one big story!
