The Satellite Showcase will be hosted by the Cankarjev Dom Cultural Centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia on the 2nd October 2025, presenting a conference on drama in smaller European languages and the performance MOTO – Membra Jesu Nostri, produced by Teatro Arriaga from Bilbao, which will be performed in the Basque and Spanish languages and subtitled in Slovenian language.
The programme in Ljubljana rounds off the artistic events of last spring with the international DoSEL Showcase, held during the 55th Week of Slovenian Drama in Kranj. It emphasizes the collaborative spirit of DoSEL, which nurtures and promotes cooperation among playwrights, directors, actors, and especially translators of dramatic works, who make it possible for stories born in one language to be heard and felt in many others. Within the four days of intense activities, a conference will take place on 2 October at Cankarjev dom, focusing on the state of drama in Europe’s smaller languages within the broader European theatre landscape, as well as on the role of translation and translators.
In addition, there will be an international playwriting residency workshop bringing together playwrights from Slovenia, Croatia, Catalonia, Malta, and Bulgaria.
A major guest performance will be presented in the evening of 2nd October by the Arriaga Theatre from Bilbao, presenting the production MOTO – Membra Jesu Nostri in Linhart Hall at Cankarjev dom.
The following day, at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television of the University of Ljubljana (AGRFT UL), a workshop will be held for Slovenian and Croatian students of theatre and dramaturgy, led by the director of the production, Lucía Astigarraga.
