A complex analysis of contemporary society, which opens up insights into current, even painful themes: the play Of Snow and Love, based on a poetic novel, is a complex narrative of the breakdown of family relationships caught up in a political climate of intolerance and fascism. The novel is characterised by the coexistence of different levels of developments, concrete actions, thoughts and memories, which deal with relationships from different perspectives, and perhaps this is why the production is a fusion between a monodrama, a dance performance and a concert. It is an intimate narrative, the cry of an individual who silently observes as hatred, fear, ignorance, encouraged by political and economic interests in the world, slowly disintegrate the most intimate and secure environment – the family.

Director

Actor Tadej Pišek has been actively working and creating in the Slovenian theater scene since completing his academy studies. Until 2019, he was a member of the acting ensemble of the Slovenian Permanent Theatre in Trieste, and today he works as an independent actor and director.

Producer

The artistic collective of the Godot Institute explores, experiments with, and questions new theatrical forms that combine music, classical, and physical theater. In our search for our own artistic expression, we move between "earth and sky.
