23. 3. theatre - mladinsko gledalisce ljubjana

Petra choose next play that we went to see, this time to Mladinkso gledalisce in Ljubljana. The play was called Fragile and was about immigrants in London, about their stories, problems,... The most interesting thing at this play was the way of performance. When we entered the theatre we went down - there we got cushions to put them on wooden benches and took our seats. We could see the white projecting screen in front of the stage and in front of the screen there was a lot of strange things like lights, cables and other technical staff. Then the performance started and I didnt know where to look at first - because the main action was shown at the white screen where two scenes were mixed together. The one scene were actors playing behind the screen and the second was the background which was filmed by using coullises in front of the screen. It was really interesting and really great! I liked a lot, I never saw such a performance before :-)

One thing was quite difficult at this performance, the languages. Because it was about people from differnet countries, they didnt speak just in slovene but as well in croatian, srbian, bulgarian... there were shown subtitles but anyway too many languages :-)
