In October 2002, as part of the jubilee 35th Borštnik Meeting in Maribor, a symposium entitled Slovenian Theatre and Slovenian Drama in the Second Half of the 20th Century was organized. The contributions of twelve authors, including two foreigners (German theatre scholar Heinz Klunker and Serbian playwright Nenad Prokić), represent an important contribution to the recent history of Slovenian theatre. Authors of different generations, from academics Dušan Moravec and Taras Kermauner to playwrights of the youngest generation Saša Helbel and Primož Jesenko, described the developments in Slovenian theatre and drama in the second half of the last century with their weighty contributions.

 

At the same time, the opinion crystallized that Slovenian drama was a prerequisite for a sovereign Slovenian theatre, since without original dramatic literature there can be no national theatre, be it French, English, German or Slovenian theatre. The playwright and director Vinko Möderndorfer thought deeply about this. Academician Taras Kermauner notes in his article that May 1945 was not a turning point that would stem from the immanent history of Slovenian drama; according to Kermauner, Slovenian dramas written during the war in the partisans and after the war are identical.
