Launched in February 2007, Sigledal.org - Slovene theatre portal is a project of Novi ZATO. Institute in collaboration with the National Theatre Museum of Slovenia which provides free-of-charge and daily updated information on contemporary Slovene theatre and access to the digitalised artefacts of Slovene theatre heritage. This Slovenian language web portal aims to cover all contemporary performing arts genres, both at the level of documentation and archiving and at the level of provision of topical information.



About

Founded by Samo M. Strelec, Tamara Matevc, and Gregor Matevc in 2007 and run by Novi ZATO. Institute since April 2008, the web portal is intended to provide relevant information about events (performances, educational, and research activities, etc.) in the performing arts area to the interested public as well as to archiving and preservation of Slovene theatre heritage.

The portal takes its name from the Slovenian for "you saw" or "did you see", as in "did you see that play?" which can also be read as the abbreviation for Slovenia (SI) combined with an abbreviation (of sorts) for the Slovenian word for "theatre", gledališče.

The portal is divided into three sections:

  • Veža ("Parlour") brings information about topical events and activities in the area of performing arts as well as about relevant tenders and calls from the area. It also includes contributions by different Slovene theoreticians and journalists on various topics, from reviews of performances and festivals to reflections on specific aspects of Slovene and international performing arts production. The site also includes information and reviews of book publications related to the performing arts field as well as invites the interested public to contribute to the existing Web contents.
  • Geslo ("Entry") is a web encyclopaedia of Slovene performing arts production. It includes contents and information about makers, theatres and venues, festivals, titles and contents of plays, etc. The still-growing database contains over 1700 entries and is being created by theatre makers, producers, researchers, as well as by the general public.
  • Rep, short for repertoar ("repertoire"), presents a database that covers the entire history of Slovene professional and experimental theatre from the year 1867 to the season 2006/2007. It includes digitalised information and contents from the Slovene Theatre Repertory and Slovene Theatre Yearbook, managed by the National Theatre Museum of Slovenia. At present the site is in the process of updating the database with more recent entries.

Since January 2010, the portal is supported by the Ministry of Culture.
