SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to Oma and the Spruce\, Thousands of Years\, a storytelling and music performance for adults\, taking place on Tuesday\, 21 July 2026\, at 8.00 pm. \nOMA AND THE SPRUCE\, THOUSANDS OF YEARS; NATAŠA KRAMBERGER IN SAMO KUTIN  / STORYTELLING AND MUSIC PERFORMANCE\nWhen Oma opened her eyes that morning\, she realised she would not be able to get up. Her forehead strained upwards\, while her body remained as motionless as a log. Somewhere between her head and her tail\, a dreadful short circuit had occurred. \n“Oh\, my dear soul\,” sighed Oma. “Life is difficult enough as it is—but when there are two beings inside your own body\, each pulling in a different direction…” \nThat was the moment Oma met the spruce. \nFor six and a half thousand years\, the spruce lay motionless—like a log—in the wet earth until Jani Kutin and Gorazd Kutin discovered it in Čadrg. They dried the ancient wood and transformed it into lyres\, flutes\, a violin\, an aeolian harp and a drum. \nWriter and storyteller Nataša Kramberger and multi-instrumentalist Samo Kutin bring to life the story of two beings made from the same substance—time itself\, singing. \nThe performance will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent website \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS\nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians. Alongside literature\, the festival also explores wider social issues. With Novo Mesto Summer Evenings\, Goga brings a vibrant programme of cultural events to the town.

SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: Life or Theatre
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to the literary evening Life or Theatre\, taking place on Thursday\, 23 July 2026\, at 8.00 pm. \nLIFE OR THEATRE; VINKO MÖDERNDORFER AND CARMEN L. OVEN / LITERARY EVENING \nVinko Möderndorfer lives entirely through art. Yet he is equally immersed in the world around him. “The world must be everything for theatre to be something\,” he once wrote. He is one of those rare artists who cannot be confined to a single role: novelist\, poet\, playwright\, theatre director and essayist—above all\, a keen observer of the world\, which he has been transforming into art for decades. \nIn Life or Theatre\, he returns to the questions that have accompanied him throughout his life: what it means to create\, how to live with art\, and what theatre can tell us about the world. These essays are not merely reflections on art but also a deeply personal and authentic testimony from someone who has always lived simultaneously in theatre and in life. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent website \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS\nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians. Alongside literature\, the festival also explores wider social issues. With Novo Mesto Summer Evenings\, Goga brings a vibrant programme of cultural events to the town. Every book\, every conversation with authors\, is a celebration of Slovenian literature\, the written word and the power of ideas. \nFESTIVAL PROGRAMME 2026\n\nWednesday\, 9 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Kitchen of the Poor\nMonday\, 14 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Prešeren\, Censorship and the Turbulent Nineteenth Century\nWednesday\, 16 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Between Crime Fiction\, Music and Comics\nWednesday\, 16 July 2026\, 9.00 pm – Vlado Kreslin (concert)\nFriday\, 18 July 2026\, 10.00 am – Absolutely Nothing (puppet performance for children)\nTuesday\, 21 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Oma and the Spruce\, Thousands of Years\nWednesday\, 23 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Life? or Theatre?\nFriday\, 25 July 2026\, 10.00 am – The Magical Birthday (puppet performance for children)\nWednesday\, 30 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Enlightened Novo Mesto\nSaturday\, 1 August 2026\, 9.00 pm – Ana Pupedan (concert)\nFriday\, 8 August 2026\, 10.00 am – Mirror\, Mirror (puppet performance for children)\nTuesday\, 11 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Contemporary Slovenian Science Fiction\nMonday\, 17 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Loveliness\nWednesday\, 19 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Contemporary World Poetry\nThursday\, 20 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Winter in Sokč\nSaturday\, 22 August 2026\, 10.00 am – Goldilocks and the Three Bears (puppet performance for children)\n\nFestival website

SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: Enlightened Novo Mesto
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to the discussion evening Enlightened Novo Mesto\, taking place on Thursday\, 30 July 2026\, at 8.00 pm. \nENLIGHTENED NOVO MESTO; MITJA SADEK\, MATJAŽ ŠTIH AND VESNA KELBL / DISCUSSION EVENING \nBefore officials\, censuses\, school reforms and other major reorganisations of the empire arrived\, the world of the Habsburg lands looked quite different. Maria Theresa and Joseph II sought to make it more efficient\, more modern and easier to govern. \nWhat did their reforms mean for the Slovene lands\, how did they affect Novo Mesto\, and which of their consequences can still be felt today? These questions will be explored in conversation with Novo Mesto historians Mitja Sadek and Matjaž Štih. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians. Alongside literature\, the festival also explores wider social issues. With Novo Mesto Summer Evenings\, Goga brings a vibrant programme of cultural events to the town.

SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: The Little Mirror
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to a puppet performance for children entitled The Little Mirror\, taking place on Saturday\, 8 August 2026\, at 10.00 am. \nTHE LITTLE MIRROR; LG NEBO / PUPPET PERFORMANCE \nA “wooden story” about forest animals. \nIn a forest clearing\, a rabbit finds a little mirror and sees his own reflection in it. Delighted to have found “his picture”\, he shows it to the other animals\, but each of them insists that the image belongs to them. Finally\, the bear takes the picture to his family\, and they all recognise the head of a bear in it. \nSince\, alongside animals and plants\, wood is the greatest treasure of forests\, the puppets are made of wood. The overall impression is enhanced by music performed mainly on wooden instruments. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians.

The evening will be hosted by Klavdija Kotar. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians.
