We present to you the collections of SLOGI \u2013 Theatre Museum. In November 2020, in commemoration of the recent 90th anniversary of Gregor Strni\u0161a's birth, we present a photograph from the performance Unicorn<\/em> Gregor Strni\u0161a, directed by Meta Ho\u010devar (SNG Drama Ljubljana, premiered on October 2, 1992).<\/p>\n

On November 18, Gregor Strni\u0161a (1930\u20131987), one of the most important Slovenian playwrights and poets of the 20th century, would have celebrated his 90th birthday. Among his poetic dramas is A unicorn<\/em>, which the critic France Vurnik assessed upon its publication (published by Obzorja, 1967) as "a valuable poetic and dramatic work of art, the significance of which can already be seen today both in comparison with contemporary Slovenian dramatic creativity and in comparison with all previous Slovenian drama."<\/p>\n

Strni\u0161's symbolic-allegorical play was first performed on stage in 1968, directed by Andrej Hieng and produced by the Ljubljana City Theatre. The photo by Tone Stojko shows a scene from the production, directed by Meta Ho\u010devar and produced by the Ljubljana Drama Theatre in 1992. Bojan Emer\u0161i\u010d, Sa\u0161a Pav\u010dek and Andrej Nahtigal played the roles of the perjured innkeeper Pincus, Ur\u0161ula's twin sister who sees a deeper reality, and Rabelj, the bearer of death, whom Ur\u0161ula is not afraid of.<\/p>\n
