The drama program of this year’s 64th edition of the “Ohrid Summer” festival begins tonight with the theatrical play “Immaculata” of the Slovenian National Theater from Maribor.
The monodrama of the actress Natascha Matjashec Rosker will be performed in the Vestibule of the Church “Sveta Sofia” starting at 21:00. The dramatization and adaptation are by Livia Pandur and Tomaj Pandur, the scenography is by Marko Japelj, and the costume design is the work of Leo Kulash.
Immaculata is a woman who has been repeatedly abused and wrongly forged into an image, a dogma, an instrument of faith. It is the confession of a woman, erased from history and turned into an image that serves to establish a violent religion. She seeks meaning in wounds that can never heal. Mary, the mother of Jesus, tries to remember some of the words, faces and parts of the story regarding her son’s death. Remembering these deeply disturbing events, Mary boldly challenges all great and holy ideas.
