Lent-ing in the park

Sonntag

28. 06. 2015

Long awaited Art Camp starts today, with a street theatre performance being the cherry on top!

From today on, the festival will be transforming the city centre into a gallery of smiles, playfulness, happiness, and the indestructible desire to create and listen to good music. Add summery weather, and the fresh atmosphere in the city park, and you get an incredible cultural and creative program of Art Camp, and its Triglav stage. Get ready for numerous workshops, the festivals of culture, culinary and fine arts, readings, fairy tales, natural sciences, sports activities and many more. This is the right address to refresh yourself during the hot summer days in the company of children’s laughter and creative energy, before starting your evening at Lent. 

Besides all the workshops and other highlights, you can come at 16.00, and see the first performers on Triglav stage – the drumming collective Afir Bafir. They will be filling the space with traditional West African rhythms, and Slovenian compositions. One hour later, you can attend the accompanying program of Folkart, where the folklore groups will be present before the main program in Slovene National Theatre Maribor. Today at 17.00 you will be seeing the groups from Benin and Panama. For a striking finish of the first day, Maribum Afriqui, a collective of Slovenian and Malian artists, will conclude the evening with African rhythms, and a musical and dance treat!

The creative summer days will be opened by the first street theatre performance at 18.30 on Grajski square. We are welcoming the roguish performance Tank, presenting you two excellent musicians and theatricals from Poland. Older visitors might be reminded of the legendary Czech cartoon "The Neighbours": there will be a caravan, deckchairs, even a DIY grill, and there will be a band playing the greatest hits of that time. But what is missing is … well ... the men ran out of beer! The two geniuses will try to undo the disaster by building their own brewery. Will you give them a hand?
