Hommage à Tomaž Pandur

Photographic exhibition by Aljoša Rebolj organised by Pandur. Theaters in collaboration with the Municipality of Maribor and the 52nd Maribor Theatre Festival

With his opus, Maribor-born theatre director Tomaž Pandur (1963–2016) made a definite mark not only on Slovenian theatre, but also on theatre worldwide. His recognisable aesthetics and poetics and his unique theatrical language are sculptures in time imprinted through Aljoša Rebolj’s photography. With an immense talent for capturing the most revealing theatrical moments, Rebolj followed Pandur during his final creative period as his official photographer. Photographs of the performances created in Slovenia, Spain, Germany and Croatia (the ballet Symphony of Sorrowful Songs; Faust made in Ljubljana and Madrid; King Lear, Richard III+II, Michelangelo, Medea made in Madrid and Zagreb; War and Peace, The Twilight of the Gods, Hamlet, Caligula, Barroco, Tesla Electric Company and Infierno) during these last twelve years attest to Pandur’s artistic credo, as well as to the intellectual and emotional landscapes of his magical theatrical images.
