Happy 2022!

The transition to a new year is an agreed turning point - people have agreed to count the time in this way, and now we respect the transition. People from the theater world are counting years by seasons, and the Mladi Levi festival that happened in August seems to has happened already a year ago, because now we are in the preparation for the new one! Some transitions are not agreed, they surprise us, they come at the wrong time, they overtake us - but we still have to respect them. We wish you to find your way in all the new circumstances. May the New Year, even if it is only a symbolic transition, be a beginning of new and better times for all. Happy 2022! The Bunker team

Criterion – INVITATION TO WRITERS

Dear writers, dear colleagues! As everything else, the programme at the Old Power Station has been temporarily coronically ground to a halt – and with it, Criterion (www.kriterij.si). The last performance, Station Selbstsein by Klemen Janežič, was probably one of the last shows performed on the eve the epidemic was declared. Muanis Sinanović already wrote about the performance and captured the unusual situation in which it took place: http://www.kriterij.si/node/116. The aim of Criterion is to reflect on the Old Power Station’s programme, which is currently nonexistent. Since we want to keep the medium alive and offering work opportunities, we invite you to write, taking into account the following three subject areas: Theatre is moving online – many theatres are currently offering their production online. What does this mean for the future of the art that is so profoundly marked by its ephemerality, live presence, physicality? What does this mean in terms of evaluation of such works?Reviews of online performances performed in the Old Power Station or produced by Bunker – we are currently publishing our production online; you are invited to write about the performances, e.g. about the Lyrical Minutes in the City phenomenon, performances by Beton Ltd., etc., or…

We know we will meet soon and it will be a happy time! But until then we #stayhome.

MAHLZEIT, a new chapter of the German cycle, started by the Beton Ltd. collective with Ich kann nicht anders (2016) and Große Erwartungen (2018). In Mahlzeit, dedicated to dining, feeding, snacking and socializing, the spotlight turns on music. The one Jure Vlahovič and Janez Weiss of the Dead Tongues duo have been creating for Beton Ltd. for the past ten years, and the one that is becoming – disguised and seemingly unrecognizable, with the collaboration of Maksim Špelko and Marko Brdnik – a stepping stone for the sequel, Hoppla, wir leben.
