To the last breath

While still a student of sociology, Damir Domitrović co-founded Club B-51 on Gerbičeva Street, a nexus of the subculture in Ljubljana. In 1991, during the beginnings of the wars in former Yugoslavia, he conceived the B-51 Cultural Society, then two years later started the EX PONTO festival as a sort of creative-spiritual meeting point of refugee artists from the Balkan Wars. In the 22 years since, it has grown into an important international festival of the performing arts. He supported the Rajvosa project, which was dedicated to the Bosnian minority community in Slovenia, was an instigator of the Kluže festival at the tri-border of Slovenia, Italy and Austria, and in 2005 co-founded the New European Theatre Action (NETA), the largest theatre network in South-Eastern Europe, which today encompasses 68 festivals and theatres in 20 countries.
