Monodrama is one of the most elementary theater genres, when only one performer appears in front of us, who must convince us primarily with his ingenuity or genius, as he has fewer props and effects at his disposal. The selector of this year's Monodrama, Alen Jelen, included the six best productions of the past two seasons in the competition program, thus indicating the current trends of Slovenian stage boards. The first on the program was based on Petr Rezman's collection of short stories Skok iz koke. It tells the story of a heroic worker of socialism - a miner who does not feel like a part of the community in the world of darkness, depths, drink and accidents. Šeldbauer's staging of The Defense of Socrates received many enthusiastic responses when it premiered at the MGL, as it is a modern presentation of a thinking individual in middle age who, perhaps only coincidentally, shares a name with the Greek philosopher. A night right on the edge of the woods, the work of the cult French director and playwright, who was fascinated by the trivial culture of the modern world, film, comics and the black chronicle of newspapers and was a big fan of Bruce Lee, various martial arts, television lemonade and Bob Marley, is celebrating its twentieth anniversary death of Bernard-Marie Koltes produced by Miniteater. Jaka Lah, author and performer of the play Edge of the World - the End of the Game, designs a theatrical event between art and video installation and acting performance. The premiere of the project took place in Cankarjev dom. The same production company is behind Veličković's drama Sahib - impressions from the depression. Brane Završan tried his hand at the role of an actor with a humorous text by a journalist and writer from Sarajevo. As the last one, Alan Jelen included a local theater performance in the competition program. Pika, where is your sock is about the adult Pika Nogavička, who after a failed relationship with Tomaž, a misunderstanding with Anica and the loss of Fickot - who is actually stuffed in a display case - ended up in a rented studio apartment. Actress Minca Lorenci will certainly make us laugh by telling about modern everyday life through Pika's eyes.
