An Evening with Mila Kačič is a presentation of selected poems form her collection titled »Skoz pomladni dež bom šla« (“Through the Spring Rain I’ll Walk”) and a monument to spiritual affinity, the power of love and faithfulness among friends. The sensitive susceptibility and intuition of Barbara Pia Jenič, the director, followed Mila Kačič through the eyes and heart of Ivanka Mežan: Ivanka’s memories, feelings, experiences, conflicts, pains, quittings, desperations… Each poem is a story reflected in the interpretative approach of the great actresses of Slovenian theatre. During the performance Mila’s spirit can be felt, dancing around the auditorium and whirling on the amplitudes of no one’s time and space – between life and death, in the timeless reality given by the power of words.
