FUGA Festival 2025: An International Meeting Point for Theatre, Visual Arts, and Young Visions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Koper, July 7, 2025<\/strong> \u2013 On Thursday, July 10, the Koper Theatre will host the opening of the 6th FUGA Festival with the performance Figurae Veneris Historiae by students from the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) in Ljubljana. The festival, which enriches the cultural pulse of the city every year, once again brings a vibrant selection of theatre performances, exhibitions, concerts, and discussions. It continues to strengthen its role as an important regional platform for international collaboration between art academies and the development of emerging artists.<\/p>\n

Despite cancellation from Serbia, the Festival remains open and in solidarity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Academies from Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, and Switzerland will participate in the festival. Unfortunately, the academy from Belgrade will not be attending this year\u2019s edition due to the ongoing social and political crisis in Serbia and a lack of financial resources.<\/p>\n

“Despite our best efforts, we were unfortunately unable to ensure their participation. This is a result of extremely difficult conditions that Serbian students have been bravely confronting in the streets for months, while many professors remain unpaid. We cannot remain indifferent to this,\u201d emphasized the festival\u2019s artistic director, Ivan Loboda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In place of their performance, the out-of-competition program will feature a master\u2019s project by Slovenian actress Gaja Fila\u010d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to preserve the festival as a space of freedom of expression and solidarity \u2013 also with those currently fighting for the basic conditions of artistic creation,\u201d added Loboda.<\/p>\n

Visual Arts and Interdisciplinarity: A Key Innovation of FUGA 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

A major addition to this year\u2019s program is the collaboration with Glej Theatre\u2019s Boundary Crossing initiative from Ljubljana, along with the support of the Coastal Galleries Piran. With this, the festival opens up for the first time to visual arts. As part of this collaboration, an exhibition will open on July 14 at the Monfort Gallery in Portoro\u017e, created as a response to the performances in the festival program.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, led by interdisciplinary artist Marko \u010ceh<\/strong>, will be co-created under mentorship by young visual artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not about illustrating theatre, but about a parallel artistic dialogue \u2013 a reflection on the politics of the body, silence as a form of resistance, and the disintegration of identities. All of this takes place in direct dialogue with the performances,\u201d explains Loboda.<\/p>\n

The festival also received financial support from the Municipality of Piran and Okolje Piran, with additional venue support provided by the Avditorij Portoro\u017e.<\/p>\n

Opis \/ Synopsis<\/strong>
Figurae Veneris Historiae<\/em> je eksperimentalna predstava, ki raziskuje mo\u017enosti scenskega jezika in telesa v prostoru. Temelji na literarni predlogi Gorana Stefanovskega in pri\u010devanjih \u017eensk iz obdobij vojn. Zvo\u010dna in vizualna plast se stapljata z uprizoritveno govorico, ki sega v telesno gledali\u0161\u010de, intimno izpoved in obredno kolektivnost. Osrednji motiv ti\u0161ine postane prostor spomina, travme in odpora. Ko odjekne zadnji strel, nastopi praznina, v kateri se moramo nau\u010diti znova \u017eiveti. Predstava postavlja vpra\u0161anja o vojni, telesu in ti\u0161ini, ki jih prelamljajo glasovi \u017eensk, pogosto presli\u0161anih.<\/p>\n

Figurae Veneris Historiae<\/em> is an experimental performance based on Goran Stefanovski\u2019s work and real testimonies of women in wartime. Merging physical theatre, ritual, and poetic expression, the production turns silence into a space for memory and transformation.
Set in a post-conflict void, the piece explores the lingering aftermath of violence and the resilience of bodies forced to endure. Through silence and embodiment, the performance honors unheard voices and examines how theatre can become a site of resistance and renewal.<\/p>\n

Opis \/ Synopsis<\/strong>
Avtobiografski projekt Boundaries<\/em> raziskuje temo osebnih meja v odnosih, ki je klju\u010dna za ustvarjalce, saj je globoko vplivala na njihovo osebno rast. Z introspektivnim pogledom v lastne zgodbe ustvarjalci razkrivajo nezmo\u017enost za postavljanje zdravih meja in sku\u0161ajo prodreti v vzroke te te\u017eave. Osrednji princip uprizoritve je \u00bbsamoizpoved\u00ab, ki individualne izku\u0161nje povezuje v univerzalno sliko \u010dlove\u0161ke izku\u0161nje. Re\u017eijski pristopi temeljijo na avtenti\u010dnosti in kolektivni zavesti, navdihnjeni z indijsko mitologijo. Projekt obravnava generacijske travme, samozavest, ustre\u017eljivost, manipulacijo in osebno rast. Predstava ob\u010dinstvo spodbuja k premisleku o pomenu lastnih meja kot klju\u010dnem elementu samospoznavanja.<\/p>\n

The authorial project Boundaries<\/em> explores the theme of personal boundaries in relationships. Based on the performers\u2019 own experiences, the piece reveals the struggles of defining limits and the deep psychological roots of this issue. Using the principle of \u201cself-confession,\u201d the production connects individual narratives into a universal theatrical reflection on human vulnerability and resilience. With directorial strategies grounded in authenticity and unified awareness inspired by Indian mythology, the show examines generational trauma, self-worth, and manipulation. It invites the audience to reflect on the importance of self-recognition and the power of setting healthy boundaries.<\/p>\n

Opis \/ Synopsis<\/strong>
\u00bbPredstavljam si prostor v svojem telesu, kjer se kopi\u010dijo spomini in mu dam obliko. Materializiram ga. Ta prostor postane ogromen razpadajo\u010d dvorec z neskon\u010dnim \u0161tevilom sob brez vrat. V vsaki sobi \u017eivi nekdo ali nekaj iz preteklosti. Bivam v tem postapokalipti\u010dnem prostoru in be\u017eim pred svojimi sostanovalci, ki me vedno nekako dohitijo. Ne morem ven, ker je ujetost, priklenjenost na ta prostor, opajanje z njim, vse kar poznam. In zdi se, da je edini na\u010din, kako lahko osvobojeno stopim iz tega za\u010daranega kroga to, da neham be\u017eati.\u00ab<\/p>\n

“I imagine a space within my body where memories accumulate, and I give it form. I materialize it. This space becomes a vast, decaying mansion with an endless number of doorless rooms. In each room lives someone or something from the past.I dwell in this post-apocalyptic place, constantly running from my cohabitants who always seem to catch up with me. I can’t leave, because being trapped, chained to this space, intoxicated by it\u2014that’s all I know. And it seems that the only way to step out of this vicious cycle in freedom is to stop running.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Opis \/ Synopsis<\/strong>
Fewer Emergencies<\/em> je uprizoritev v dveh delih, ki raziskuje notranje strahove, ob\u010dutek nemo\u010di in prisotnost nasilja v sodobni dru\u017ebi. Prvi del temelji na improviziranih prizorih, ki izrisujejo intimen pogled v \u017eivljenja osmih posameznikov. Njihova ob\u010dutljivost, odzivi in vpra\u0161anja \u2013 \u010desa se najbolj bojim, koga sem prizadel \u2013 ustvarijo skupno sliko \u010dlove\u0161ke osamljenosti in razkroja zaupanja. V drugem delu sledi priredba istoimenske drame Martina Crimpa. Trije neodvisni prizori razkrivajo mehanizme represije, od dru\u017einske dinamike do naklju\u010dnega nasilja in absurdne izolacije. Poeti\u010dna struktura omogo\u010da subtilen, skoraj meditativni vstop v svet, v katerem vsakdanje \u017eivljenje razpada pod te\u017eo kolektivne otopelosti.<\/p>\n

This two-part production juxtaposes devised personal fragments with Martin Crimp\u2019s razor-sharp writing to form a chilling study of emotional and social breakdown. It challenges audiences to witness the hidden traumas lurking beneath domestic calm, the casual cruelty of disconnected individuals, and the eerie normalization of violence. Fewer Emergencies<\/em> invites reflection on how much we repress to function and whether such repression can truly protect us. The result is a haunting, resonant piece of theatre that lingers long after the final line is spoken.<\/p>\n

Prva razstava na Festivalu FUGA 2025 pomeni pomembno raz\u0161iritev festivalske vizije. Odpira prostor umetni\u0161ki raziskavi, ki izhaja iz metodologije Boundary Crossing in raziskuje meje med gledali\u0161\u010dem, vizualno umetnostjo in utele\u0161eno izku\u0161njo. Umetnice in umetniki skozi raznolike prakse razmi\u0161ljajo o vpra\u0161anjih glede krhkosti telesa, politi\u010dne prisotnosti, identitete, institucionalne travme, ti\u0161ine kot prostora odpora in mitolo\u0161ke preobrazbe. Razstava ustvarja polja napetosti, kjer se pomeni ne kon\u010dajo, ampak vztrajajo \u2013 kot vpra\u0161anje: Kaj ostane od nas, ko pre\u017eivimo? Vsebinska izhodi\u0161\u010da razstave temeljijo na festivalskih predstavah, toda ne gre zgolj za ilustracijo gledali\u0161kih del, temve\u010d za vzporedni premislek. Razstava obiskovalca vabi k prisotnosti v razpoki, med vidnim in nevidnim, med strukturo in razkrojem, med posameznikom in kolektivom. V tem prostoru vmesnosti lahko predolgo presli\u0161ani glasovi ponovno zazvenijo.<\/p>\n

The first visual arts exhibition at FUGA Festival 2025 marks a significant expansion of the festival\u2019s vision. It opens a space for artistic research grounded in the Boundary Crossing methodology, exploring the porous borders between theatre, visual art, and embodied experience.<\/em> Through diverse practices, the participating artists reflect on questions of bodily fragility, political presence, identity, institutional trauma, silence as a space of resistance, and mythological transformation. The exhibition creates a field of tension, where meanings do not conclude but persist \u2014 as in the central question: What remains of us after we survive?<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhibition is not a mere illustration of the festival\u2019s performances but a parallel inquiry. It invites the viewer to remain present in the crack \u2014 between the visible and invisible, between structure and collapse, between the individual and the collective. In this in-between space, voices long silenced may finally be heard again.<\/em><\/p>\n

Opis \/ Synopsis<\/strong>
Gibalna predstava Shooting Snow White<\/em> je sodobna pravljica z elementi grozljivke in klovnovske igre. Anna Lisa Grebe sama odigra vse like iz znane pravljice \u2013 od Snegulj\u010dice, \u010darovnice in lovca do princa in zrcala. Z intenzivno telesno ekspresijo, petjem, kriki in absurdom razkriva nesmisel patriarhata in stereotipov, ki jih pravljice prena\u0161ajo iz roda v rod. Predstava odpira vpra\u0161anja o vlogi \u017eensk v sodobni dru\u017ebi, vlogi telesa in identitete ter svobodi izra\u017eanja. Gre za brutalno iskren in obenem igriv poklon vsem \u017eenskam, ki so bile v zgodovini uti\u0161ane, reducirane na vloge ali idealizirane. Pravljica se spremeni v kri\u010de\u010do metaforo boja za osvoboditev iz steklenih krst sodobne dru\u017ebe.<\/p>\n

A powerful solo performance blending clown, dance, grotesque and poetic theatre, Shooting Snow White<\/em> reinvents the classic tale through a feminist lens. Anna Lisa Grebe embodies every character with physical intensity and emotional vulnerability, exposing patriarchal norms and repressive structures with sharp humor and surreal horror. The piece confronts how fairy tale tropes shape identity and expectations, asking whether we can still believe in them or must radically rewrite them. Through body, voice, and visual metaphor, the show reclaims the stage for stories of resistance, resilience, and redefinition. An invitation to wake up from the enchanted sleep of passivity.<\/p>\n
