The premiere of the play 1981 is coming to SNG Maribor, where we will be able to witness a story that unites and separates two times - the first, which in the homeland of "order and work" joined forces in style, swore to the honorable Titova, full of factories and sincere comrades, and the second , the current one, where promises are no longer binding, where the sword of power is wielded only by self-sufficiently arrogant individuals who "for the devil" sell the state's, once people's, infrastructure.
A young Slovenian playwright Simona Semenič is for a dramatic text nineteen eighty-one (2014), which "with its fragmentary dramaturgy, interspersed with temporal, spatial and identity leaps, offers a high potential for playing and inventing the language of the stage", received at the 44th Slovenian Drama Week nomination for the Slavko Grum Award.

Her story unites and separates two times - the first, which is "order and work" in the homeland united forces in style, swore to the honorable Tito, full of factories and sincere comrades, and the other, the present, where promises are no longer binding, where the sword of power is only brandished self-sufficiently arrogant individuals, who "for the devil" are selling state, formerly public infrastructure, while the workers are like collateral damage of tycoon deals left empty-handed, without faith, without vision, without bread. Small stories from a small town or how we once believed that we were opening the door to the "other Switzerland" or the Balkan India of Coromandy, but we got left, right and left a wrapped candy bar - moldy, smelly and wormy.
