This year’s focus is dedicated to Dutch drama and theatre and will run between October 21 and 23. The Dutch Focus is realised in collaboration with the Department of Performing Arts at the Faculty of arts, University of Groningen, and Promotiepodiumkunsten, the Amsterdam-based organisation for promoting Dutch culture.
In order to bring closer the Dutch dramatic production Maribor Theatre Festival has commissioned the translation of four contemporary Dutch plays, which will be published in the book Contemporary Dutch Drama:

• Rob de Graaf: Freetown
• Peer Wittenbols: The Fourth Reich (Het Vierde Rijk)
• Magne van den Berg: Long-term Consequences of a Short Statement (Een lange nasleep van een korte mededeling)
• Rik van den Bos: The Year of Evergreens (Het jaar van de schlager)

The staged readings of plays will be prepared by students of Ljubljana Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television under the mentorship of director Yulia Roschina.
