The main part of the first number of the thirteenth year of the journal contains papers presented at the Amfiteater International Symposium entitled ‘Connecting Avant-Gardes and Theatre: How to Revolutionise the Relationship between the Periphery and the Centre’, which took place in the autumn of 2024 in the Slovenian Theatre institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The aim of the symposium was to map the various geographical and historical attempts to revolutionize the relationship between the periphery and the centre in Europe and beyond.
The thematic block brings together seventeen original papers in Slovenian and English.
Outside the thematic block, there is an article discussion on the lecture-performance series Sex Education II and a review of the book The European Avant-Garde – A Hundred Years Later (ed. P. Tratnik), thus completing the theme of avant-gardes, devoted by this number of Amfiteater.
The issue was edited by dr. Maja Murnik.
