Sunday June 16, 2024 | 9:00 p.m.

One of the most unique and remarkable women in the literary world and the world is the traveller and writer Alma Ida Wilibalda Maximiliana Karlin, who was born in 1889 in Celje, Slovenia.

The story of the cosmopolitan woman offers an excellent starting point to deal with current social roles and gender identity issues involved in the tissue of our world. Alma’s path shows us how much power it takes for an individual to break free from the grip of social expectations. When think-ing about her life, the adventures and experiences she described in her travel books are usually at the forefront, but this performance will focus on the motif that led her to her journey.
