This year’s 7th edition of Spider, the Festival of Radical Bodies, focuses on practices that rely on our immeasurable capacities, while trying to transcend the forced means of constructing measurable human inter-relations. Spider enables unprecedented and unregulated insight into the processes and strategies of cutting-edge performance-making that question the prevailing psycho-physical and socio-economic order, including its misguided foundations. Don’t miss this opportunity and join the vital and vibrant crossroads between dance and speech, radical criticism and the embodiment of freedom! www.spiderontheedge.org

Let’s Celebrate Together. Hundred Years of the National Gallery of Slovenia4 Aug – 4 Nov, Tivoli Park, Jakopič PromenadeOn the 18th of September, 1918, the National Gallery Society was founded – having neither art holdings or exhibition space nor financial assets, but furnished with a lot of zeal. The palace of Narodni Dom became its home in 1925, and since 1933 an extensive permanent art collection has been exhibited in it. Thirteen years later the Gallery became a state institution and a home for all of us.Displayed along the Jakopič Promenade in Tivoli Park are details of works of art from the Gallery’s permanent collection which was considerably expanded after the renovation of the palace of Narodni Dom in 2016. To recognize them as creations of our artists means to belong to the Slovenian community, to participate in its happy and less happy days with that creative willpower that brought into existence the National Gallery of Slovenia.

Siddharta, a five-member Slovenian rock band,is one of the major names on the Slovenian music scene. It was formed in 1995, when four friends got together and named themselves after a well-known book by Hermann Hesse because they liked the sound of it. Soon they started developing their own sound. They wanted it to be different – they enriched it with the saxophone and keyboards. Together they developed their own sound, a sound they like to call Siddharta sound.

He’s won us over with numerous successful and varied projects, collaborating with acclaimed authors from all over – Joss Stone, Magnifico, Tommy Emmanuel, Vlatko Stefanovski, Stefan Milenkovich, Iztok Mlakar … Hatlak discovers music in his own way, unconcerned with genre labels – all that matters to him are the passion and goose bumps when playing live. That’s the key he selects the musical guests and bands he performs with.
