Next year, we will present a special exhibition: Situla art in Novo mesto.
It will be presented in all the partner cities.
These situlas are a special feature of Novo mesto as they cannot be seen in too many places.
As an introduction to 2012, we have prepared a special historic exhibition: Novo mesto 1848–1918.
Novo mesto 1848–1918 exhibition:
One of the most exciting eras of European history in Novo mesto Stories of ordinary people: a look into everyday city life
An interactive exhibition, enhanced with modern electronic technologies: animations, games, a quiz, etc.
Adapted to the blind and partially sighted
There are many stories here.
The most interesting is the story of the Civil guard flag, commissioned to be embroidered by Franz Joseph himself.
When he was in Ljubljana and the Civil guard from Novo mesto was there,
he saw the flag, got out of the car and shook their hands.
In 2012, the Anton Podbevšek Theatre will join the ECOC project with the rock opera Man with Bombs.

This will be a series of texts, skillfully transformed into a libretto.

This is visual poetry. If you look at it, poetry can be visual too.
This is semantically very unusual, avant-garde poetry, resembling Kosovel’s Konsi, Majakovski’s rethoric.
The collection’s theme is war and rebellion against it.

the production with the Anton Podbevšek Theatre the rock opera Man with Bombs.
It may be cold now, but the site is calling out for the hot days in the end of June, when the festival will take place.
It is a beautiful, poetic location.
Yes. And if Zmago Modic is on that bridge, drawing a nude, it is even better.
