The play Stari Klovni will premiere on November 16, 2016, on the big stage at SNG Nova Gorica. The drama, written by the Romanian author Matei Visnies, and we have to thank the director Jaša Jamnik for directing the first Slovenian production, hides the question of fear of unemployment and the question of when a person becomes too old for the job market under the seemingly comic performance. Tickets are already available.

On November 19, 2016, Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream will have its theatrical premiere at the Ljubljana City Theater (MGL).

On the Slovenian stage, the comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream will come to life under the careful tactics of director Jerne Lorenci. Tickets are already on sale.

Strah is a short Slovenian film by Dejan Bobošek. Fear has become the number 1 weapon, especially in the hands of politicians, watching the movie, for which a shocking video clip was shot by Trkaj.

In Slovenia, cinemas have started showing the Oscar-winning film Moonlight (Moolight, 2016), which in the dramatic finale of the awarding of the most prestigious film awards took the statuette out of the hands of the film La La Land.

Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim to win an Oscar for acting.
The intrigue of a father who disobeys his daughter, the clash of two underworld rivals and the vacillating guardian of public order between them, and the confrontation of three (dis)enchanted ladies - this titillating story from the milieu of crime and prostitution was a means for the playwright John Gay to draw a complex political satire on the corruption of English society at the beginning of the 18th century. The Beggar's Opera, the most performed work of the time, will be staged for the first time at the SNG Nova Gorica on March 23rd. It also inspired many adaptations and remakes, among which the most famous are Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera (1928) and Benjamin Britten's modernist musical adaptation (1948), but it is also worth mentioning the politically engaged (non-musical) drama of the Czech playwright Vaclav Havel ( 1978) and Opera Wonyosi by the Nigerian Nobel laureate Wola Soyinka (1977).
