Location: Cultural Centre Izola

Time: 8.00 pm

Entrance fee: 18 / 20 €

A society based on the power of capital, neuroses from the loss of social status, the abuse of hierarchical relations at work, mobbing and the precariat are the themes of the new production of the Slovenian Permanent Theatre entitled Something in the Air.

Al Araf is the wall that separates the good from the bad in the Qur'an, just as its content, as the playwright writes, "shows the writer's affinity for an artistic conglomerate of mysticism, philosophy and history". The exotic hint of the title is a characteristic element of Bartol's poetics, which reached its peak a few years later with the novel Alamut. Fantasy, philosophy, psychoanalysis and love intertwine in the stories of the collection, among which the selected novella offers a multilayered reading in contrast with its almost vaudevillian overtones. It is about a love quadrangle between an entrepreneur, his wife, his secretary and a business consultant. The treatment of seemingly trivial affairs is only a facade for the realistic intention of the author, who reflects on the higher forces and powers that guide the actions and lives of every human being. "Something in the air" influences all choices and can be an invisible, intangible element of economic, political or social nature. Basic values, such as love, are subordinated to this mysterious mechanism, which directs the protagonists as if they were puppets with apparent sovereignty. Anton and Ilonka Jedliček, Leopold Stieglitz and Vera live in fear of losing a certain status, which is confirmed by a recognisable role in business or partnership relations.

 

The performance will take place at the Izola Cultural Centre on Friday, 15 March 2024 at 8pm!
