Amfiteater journal Scientific Symposium 2022 - 6 and 7 October 2022, Slovenian Theatre Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia.

In September 2022, we announce the release of the monograph Theatre Möderndorfer published by Forum Ljubljana and co-published by the Slovenian Theatre Institute which, according to the author of the introductory essay, Blaž Lukan, “functions as a peculiar ‘amphibian’: simultaneously an ‘object’ and a ‘system’. That is, as a tangible and sensorial phenomenon of theatre that can be ‘held’, and as a system of theatre thinking, an ‘object’ that can (also) be thought.”

Ivo Barišič, recipient of Borštnik Ring Award 2022 - This year's recipient of the highest acting award for lifetime achievement in Slovenia is a member of the Nova Gorica acting ensemble where he was active from 1969, when the theatre gained the professional status, to his retirement in 2014. In the impressive oeuvre of Barišič's theatre roles, many distinguished creations in the stagings of the absurd drama stand out. His interpretation in Ionesco's The Bald Singer (1995, directed by Vito Taufer) still lives on in the collective memory of spectators; according to Andrej Inkret, Barišič portrayed Mrs. Smith as a “slender, already grey-haired, temperamental lady who in a tight white suit and with a shopping bag in her hands minces short steps on high heels and utters her absurd sentences with unmistakeably refined feminine elegance.” Tea Rogelj highlighted the most characteristic feature of his stage presence in the explanation of the Borštnik Ring Award: “as an actor, he constantly updates his way of acting and ceaselessly broadens curiosity for a new, different theatre and film expression.”
