The theatre dodecalogy 1972–1983 (within the Destin(y)ation / Touch of Destiny project), directed by Tomi Janežič, is a year-long theatre omnibus consisting of twelve plays. It is a transgenerational documentary fiction about Nova Gorica as a city that is connected to other cities in a surprising way, addressing the themes of border, socio-political and ideological changes, war, etc. through family stories. It portrays a network of life stories extending through time, that are marked by travels and migrations. Above all, it is an omnibus about theatre itself.
The dodecalogy is being developed across multiple locations, including Nova Gorica, Ljubljana, Novi Sad, Timișoara, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Krušče Creative Center. Throughout 2025, it will be presented with one of twelve performances showcased each month as part of the European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica - Gorica.
