Background
When the collaborative cultural centre GT22 was established in 2012 in the centre of Maribor, KUD Moment found its home there. A former nightclub was transformed into the Intimate Stage, a theatre space for about 50 spectators. Since then, its programme has focused on research-based productions, guest performances, and educational activities, bringing together artists and audiences.
Programme
KUD Moment’s productions encompass various formats and production models, grounded in research, experimentation, learning, and self-reflection. Their performances combine diverse theatrical elements, including spoken word, puppetry, movement, dance, video, and other staging technologies, often layering these approaches simultaneously. The association frequently collaborates in co-productions with GT22 and other Slovenian arts organisations, such as Maribor Puppet Theatre, Mini Theatre, or En-Knap Productions.
KUD Moment produces the award-winning Hero cycle of performances by Uroš Kaurin and Vito Weiss, conceived as an ongoing lifelong project. Recipient of the Borštnik Award for acting at the 2018 Maribor Theatre Festival, the cycle encompasses performances, workshops based on its creative methods, and various related events. The association also produces devised theatre works by Zoran Petrovič, which combine elements of dramatic theatre, puppetry, objects, and video technology.
After a seven-year hiatus, KUD Moment resumed organising the Crossings Festival of independent theatre in 2019, having originally launched it in 2010. It is also a partner of the TRIGGER Showcase Festival, a platform for presenting contemporary performance practices.
KUD Moment is a partner in PARL, a residency programme dedicated to developing creative processes, performative strategies, and presentation formats. It is also involved in the First Scene arts educational programme, organised by the Slovene National Theatre Maribor, and participates in StudenTheatre, a project featuring multi-month workshops led by professional mentors. The programme provides students with artistic and professional support, helping them shape and develop their ideas across devised, dance, puppet, and music theatre, as well as performance practices, and provides a platform for presenting their work. Its partners include GT22, Glej Theatre, the House of Children and Arts, and the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia.
