Share my journey through the world of theater.
This website is a window into my work, showcasing a diverse array of plays that range from light-hearted comedies to deep, thought-provoking dramas. Each piece reflects a part of my artistic vision and passion for storytelling.
As a playwright, I have the unique privilege of crafting stories that transcend language barriers, creating plays in Slovene, German, and English. This multilingual approach allows my work to resonate with a diverse audience, offering a rich tapestry of narratives that reflect a global perspective.
Join me in exploring these narratives that not only entertain but also resonate with depth and meaning. Dive into the world of theater as seen through my eyes.
Jack Johnson was the first black world champion in boxing. He had to overcome all the evils of racism to show us white boys who's boss in the ring. Of course, we didn't forgive him for that easily, and just a few years later we threw him in jail just because Jack had a taste for white women.
Few reasons are needed to hate someone, just as little is needed to see someone as a fellow human being and a friend.

Before the discovery of the worlds of microorganisms by Louis Pasteur around 1880, in one of the university maternity hospitals in Vienna, almost every third pregnant woman died of puerperal fever just a few days after giving birth. She died a slow and horrible death and no one knew why.
This is the story of a young Hungarian doctor who, with all his burning energy and love for young mothers, wanted to clarify the cause of these deaths and thus had to confront the dogmatic and backward state of medicine in the 19th century.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Switzerland and Lake Bled, the play captures Rikli's journey as he rebels against societal and familial expectations, embracing the revolutionary power of light, air, and water. With a mix of humorous misunderstandings, eccentric inventions, and heartfelt monologues, Rikli's vision for health and well-being challenges tradition and creates uproarious encounters with colorful characters. The play is a tribute to individuality, perseverance, and the comedic trials of chasing one's dreams.

If you're convinced that fake news has sprung up in the past few years, the next story might make you think twice. More than 80 years ago, a very special jokester lived in Gorenjska? His name was Legatov Tonček. His biggest prank still resonates with people today and seems to have gone national. You may have heard how in 1935 he disguised himself as the Abyssinian Emperor Haile Selassie, arrived ceremoniously by train in Bohinjska Bistrica and experienced an extraordinary reception. But during dinner time everything came crashing down, when the waitress recognized him while dancing polka with him.

I took a pivotal step in furthering the arts within our community by founding the Gorenjska Skupnost Teatrov (GOST).
