Overview of music theatre production
Café Teater offers a high quality music programme, including concerts of home and international artists, music performances, and chanson. Aiming for an artistic as well as an entertaining experience, Café Teater's productions are always spiced up with a dash of theatre. Its most recognised and toured productions include Vita Mavrič's theatre concert Yearnings - Brecht [Hrepenenja - Brecht] (2006), co-produced with Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL), which was produced on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Bertolt Brecht's death, featuring nine songs by Kurt Weill, which are interweaved with the theme of yearning and desire, Lara Jankovič's monodrama Like Me [Kot jaz] (2008), based on the turbulent life of one of the greatest chansonniers of all times Edith Piaf and directed by Zijah A. Sokolović, Cuba Libre - Cabaret of the Golden Years [Kiba Libre - kabare zlatih let] (2009), performed by the actress and interpreter Lara Jankovič and Gregor Strniša, etc. The music programme presents also authors, such as the jazz singer Mia Žnidarič, folk singer Adi Smolar, the group Ira Roma (Russian folk songs), the group Bossa de Novo, Klarisa Jovanović, etc.
In March 2008, Café Teater initiated a collaborative project Theatre Under the Clouds [Teater pod oblaki] with Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre. Each Friday and Saturday, Theatre Under the Clouds presents the most attractive music and theatre performances at the Cankarjev dom Club.
Café Teater presents also a number of internationally renowned artists. Thus, it presented in 2009 the concert of Jacques Brel's songs performed by Mouron and Terry Truck, who have already appeared at the Café Teater's La Vie en Rose festival in 2008, a rock concert With Love, Janis [Z ljubeznijo, Janis] by the Zagreb-based Theatre Comedy, Croatia, featuring an amazing interpreter of Janis Joplin Zdenka Kovačiček, the evening of chanson with Clara Moreau, etc.
Café Teater's productions are widely presented throughout Slovenia and have also appeared at the Brecht Hause in Berlin, at Brno International Music Festival, in Teater Akzent in Vienna, in Teater Diligentia, the Hague, etc.
Theatre entertainment
Although its productions primarily include musical projects, Café Teater also produces comedies and political satires, in which it collaborates with distinguished Slovene (comedy) directors, such as Vinko Möderndorfer, Branko Đurić, etc. Its recent productions include the satire Separate Waste [Ločeni odpadki] (2009), directed by Jaša Kobal, tackling delicate national issues and stereotypes through black humour, the satirical mono-comedy Who Did This Job For You [Kdo vam je pa to delu] (2007), featuring Boris Kobal, etc. These productions are widely presented throughout Slovenia, commonly with great success.
