Fragments of Love, Fragments in Time, photography exhibition

Lokacija: Gallusovo nabrežje, Ljubljana
Termin: 22. 03. 2024 – 12. 04. 2024

On the Programme of the 54th Week of Slovenian Drama.

The exhibition of the Slovenian Theatre Institute – Theatre Museum shows theatre moments captured in photos, manifesting diverse forms of emotional affection in the productions of the plays by classical and contemporary Slovenian authors, as interpreted by recognisable actors from different theatre institutions.

The overview of the motif of love in the productions of Slovenian plays also includes the relationships in which the devotion to the Other approaches its opposite, as well as those that reach beyond the heteronormative understanding [of the word]. The time span reveals that the variations of love in theatre as the reflection of society are inexorably expanding and layering.

The exhibition, which bases its content on the subtleties of Slovenian theatre photographers, also includes photos from the stagings of some award-winning texts. The oldest exhibited photo is from 1938; the newest is from 2023.

The exhibition was created in collaboration with Tourism Ljubljana – as a part of the LUV Fest Festival – and in collaboration with the Prešeren Theatre Kranj.

Authors of the exhibition: Ana Perne and Primož Jesenko.
