"Man shall be trained for war and woman for the procreation of the warrior, anything else is folly";

These are the words of the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. His extremely old‑fashioned and semi-feudal views on women are more or less passé today. The creation of music and performances are no longer a domain of men. The competition with male thinking patterns in the sense of “that musicians react differently when a man stands in front of them” and the ghettoization of women in the arts is obsolete. And yet...

Musical search for woman and womanhood characterises this year's multimedia event – one of Festival Maribor's most prominent features, which creates unique concert experiences by mixing concert performances with drama theatre and visual arts. According to tradition, this year's performance will again be provocative and experimental with the aim to reveal the visionary and provocative art and creativity of women. Designed by Satu Vänska, the WOman Project brings collaboration with the theatre director Matjaž Latin and dramaturge Aljaž Zupančič to the front.

The muse and the creator, the teacher and the patroness, the saint and the seductress, the mythical nemesis and the protector of fragile artistic souls – one way or another the image of the Woman will be reflected in the entire storyline of this performance.
