A Tribute to Tomaž Šalamun
February 3, 2015, 9:00 am
at Mini Theatre

»I am the water,« goes one of the lines in Tomaž Šalamun’s cycle »The Circle and the Circle’s Argument«. Another line by Tomaž says: »water is most loving of all.« The common feeling felt by poets and other friends of Tomaž Šalamun all over the world is that on 27h December 2014, when Tomaž left us, an ocean was emptied of water. However, love for his poetry and his person remains strong as ever. His friends from all over the world would like to pay him a tribute on 3rd February, at an event physically held at the Mini teater theatre (Križevniška 1) in Ljubljana and virtually, through livestreaming, all over the planet. This will be a marathon reading of Tomaž’s poems and texts dedicated to Tomaž, gathering as many friends, poets, translators, painters, musicians and other artists connected personally or artistically to his work as possible. If you wish to perform live or join the reading through Skype, confirm their attendance and provide the details listed below as soon as possible, but no later than 20th January, at: irena.smodis@zaolzba.org Please provide the following details: NAME COUNTRY AND LANGUAGE YOU WISH TO USE TO SPEAK OR READ TIME WHEN YOU WISH TO JOIN THE LIVE BROADCAST (the event will take place from 15.00 to 24.00 CET!)
