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.
