Founded in 2019, the TRIGGER Showcase Festival is dedicated to promoting Slovenian independent performing arts and strengthening their position both locally and internationally. The festival presents a selection of the most relevant productions by independent Slovenian artists and producers with strong international potential, alongside a programme of talks, lectures, and workshops featuring guest curators from international festivals, agents, and experts in distribution and international collaboration.
The Fabula Festival – Literature of the World is the biggest and most visited literary festival in Slovenia and the wider region. Produced by the Beletrina Publishing Institute in collaboration with Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre and Celje Central Library, the festival brings together world-class authors through well-considered curatorship. The festival selects distinguished authors each year and devotes attention to promising, up-and-coming writers. In addition to hosting renowned writers and establishing contact between international literature and Slovenian audiences, translated works of the selected authors are also published as part of the festival. The festival also features an annual theoretical focus on a relevant social issue, raising sociocritical issues and addressing contemporary challenges.
