After a few years hiatus, the next edition is expected to take place in 2017.
Concept and programme
The concept of choregie as a vocal theatre, which incorporates music, drama, movement and other stage elements, has been developed by Karmina Šilec in the framework of the Carmina Slovenica choir's projects.
The first edition took place from 31 May through 3 June 2010 at Slovene National Theatre Maribor and presented three productions by !Kebataola! Ensemble (starting with the Ursonate by Kurt Schwitters), and performaces by Familija, Janez Škof, and Bojan Gorišek, as well as Jaap Blonk and Miguel Azguime as the first festival's international guests.
The 2011 edition included the two Carmina Slovenica choir's projects: Pleading for words with the guest actor Jožef Ropoša, taking place at the Maribor Cathedral, and the Perspective EAST performance at Union Hall, which included music from Bali, China, Japan, Malaysia, Borneo, India, Korea, Java, Tibet, Georgia and other countries. Festival featured also the works by the musician Vasko Atansovski and by Marjan Šijanec, the composer of electroacoustic and computer music.
After its third edition in 2012, the festival was temporarily shelved.
