Zofka Kveder: A Playwright and an Intermediary of Theatre Culture

About the event

The event, dedicated to Zofka Kveder, is conceived in two parts: first, we will get to know Zofka Kveder’s short plays that will receive a staged reading; afterwards, the round table discussion with invited experts will focus on the drama part of her work and her role as an intermediary of theatre culture – a translator and a reviewer. We will also discuss how she enacted alternative images of femininity, both in life and in art. 

Moderator: Nika Leskovšek, PhD

Participants: Professor Katja Mihurko, PhD; Professor Mateja Pezdirc Bartol, PhD and Simona Semenič 

The reading performances will feature the following texts by Zofka Kveder: Foreign Eyes, Crushed, and At the Grocer’s.
