9. 6. - 16. 6. 2023, pred Galerijo Škuc, Stari trg 21, Ljubljana
Letos bo literarno-glasbeni festival Živa književnost praznoval 30. obletnico. Od leta 1994 se je na Škucevem odru predstavilo več kot 120 tujih in več kot 130 domačih literatov_k ter prav tako številni_e glasbeniki_ce. Nekateri od njih so bili šele na začetku ustvarjalne poti, drugi že znani širšemu krogu ljudi. S svojim nastopom pred Galerijo Škuc so ulico napolnili s književnostjo in glasbo, ustavili sprehajalno mimobežnost Starega trga in ga preobrazili v točko umetniških presečišč.
Ob tej priložnosti se zahvaljujemo vsem nastopajočim in sodelavcem_kam, ki so zaslužni_e za kakovost in prepoznavnost festivala, ob tem pa gre zahvala tudi našim rednim obiskovalcem_kam. Živa književnost bo zakorakala v četrto desetletje in staro Ljubljano še naprej oživljala s prepletom raznovrstnih kulturnih vsebin.
Tudi letos smo pripravili pester program, ki se bo odvijal med 9. in 16. junijem 2023 pred Galerijo Škuc na Starem trgu 21.
Prvi večer bodo obeležili_e pesniki_ce, pišoči v maratskem in slovenskem jeziku. Večdnevno mednarodno sodelovanje bodo sklenili_e z branjem poezije, ki jo bodo vzajemno prevajali_e na pesniško prevajalski delavnici v organizaciji Centra za slovensko književnost. Nastopili_e bodo Hemant Divate, Sandživ Khandekar, Manja Džoši, Kristina Kočan, Natalija Milovanović in Gregor Podlogar.

Kot vedno bo literatura prežeta z glasbo raznovrstnih žanrov. Na odru se bodo zvrstili Duo Aritmija, Masaž, Urška, Sunartmusic, Jaka Berger, Ali R. Taha, Ingver in Gverilke ter Malala Tina Rakoto.
V popoldanskih urah, od 18.00 ure dalje bo odvijal spremljevalni program O' živela knjiga.

Ingver in Gverilke je performativni pevski trio z naborom avtorskih, pobarkovanih in podedovanih pesmi. Skupina se inspirira s šolskimi sistemi, vzgojnimi ter varnostnimi ukrepi, ljudskim izročilom in daje šanse skupnostnemu organiziranju. Premore več inštrumentov kot članic: harmoniko, pojočo žago, tamburin, sintesajzer in trostrunsko bas kitaro. Glas jim služi kot prvi inštrument, od večglasja do improvizacije. Njihovi vplivi so Etno histeria orkester in zbor, bolgarske ljudske ter pesmi iz Rezije, Damir Avdić ter klubska scena od Sežane do Ljubljane. Zase pravijo, da so nastale iz dalje, v komuni na luni in stale bodo, če bo treba, obstale pa, dokler ne bo prelita zadnja kaplja rakije. Ingver in Gverilke so Mojca Marija Frida, Eva Boke Ziblje in Enja Rojenica.
Ingver in Gverilke is a performative trio singing original, hoarded and inherited songs. The group find their inspiration in school systems, corrective and protective measures and folk traditions, giving community organising a chance. They have more instruments than band members: the accordion, the musical saw, the tambourine, the synthesizer and the three-string bass. Vocals are their primary instrument, from polyphony to improvisation. They are inspired by the Etno histeria orchestra and choir, Bulgarian folk songs, Rezija songs, Damir Avdić and the club scene from Sežana to Ljubljana. They like to say that they come from a land far, far away, a commune on the moon, and will stand if need be and keep standing until the last drop of rakia is spilled. Ingver in Gverilke are Mojca Marija Frida, Eva Boke Ziblje and Enja Rojenica.
