The Wisconsin-based theatre company Theatre Gigante is visiting Slovenia this week for two performances, in English with Slovenian surtitles, of Tarzan, "an exotic drama" by Rok Vilčnik. The first is at 19:30, Monday April 1 in Ptuj City Theatre, and the second at 20:00 on Thursday in Prešeren Theater Kranj.
The show, which is being supported by the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts, UPAF, and Milwaukee County CAMPAC, is being promoted with the following text: This could happen in any jungle …Tarzan, Jane, and a Hyena-called-Mike, grapple with love, middle-age, the fate of the jungle, the animal kingdom, and all humanity. This extraordinary play, by award-winning Slovenian playwright Rok Vilčnik, is smart, funny, and unexpectedly moving.
