French Town to Host Slovenian Culture Festival
The town of Cahors near Toulouse, France, is to host a festival of foreign cultures dubbed "Visages Francophones" this autumn, with Slovenia as a special guest. It is to showcase around 150 artists presenting music, theatre, dance, literature, visual arts, video, crafts and food between 27 September and 2 October.
After the town of 20,000 inhabitants already hosted Lebanese, Vietnamese and Malian art, this year's organisers formed their programme in cooperation with the Ljubljana-based French Institute Charles Nodier.
It features the dance performance "Confi-dance" by Fico balet featuring Goran Bogdanovski and Dejan Srhoj, productions "Nokok" by duo Salto Alto, "Misfits" by the Glej Theatre, a street theatre performance by Serpentes and the project "Lalanit" by Luna Ornik.
The accompanying programme is to include Slovenian feature films and video production. Concerts are scheduled by Fake Orchestra, Olivija, Moveknowledgement, Compe, Katalena, Vlado Kreslin and DJ's Dado and Borka.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Pogacnik of the Ljubljana Faculty of Arts is to lead a round table discussion entitled "Slovenia between Francofilia and Francophony". Poets Boris A. Novak and Dane Zajc are to appear as guests and selected Slovenian craft items are to be exhibited.
