Insights into the Theatre History

Slovenski gledališki inštitut, SNG Drama Ljubljana in SNG Opera in balet Ljubljana tudi v sezoni 2025/26 nadaljujemo s skupnimi dogodki, kjer izbrane uprizoritve tekoče sezone obeh ljubljanskih narodnih gledališč postavljamo v širši zgodovinski, umetniški in družbeni kontekst. Dogodki, ki potekajo pred izbranimi premierami, ponujajo ekskluzivni vpogled v zbirke SLOGI – Gledališkega muzeja ter občinstvo že pred ogledom predstav spodbujajo k razmisleku o temah in vprašanjih, ki jih odpirajo gledališka dela, njihova kritiška recepcija in uprizoritvena zgodovina.
