Lead partner: GO! 2025.
From Station to Station is the opening event of the European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica - Gorizia, which will take place on the Slovenian cultural holiday on 8 February. This is the biggest event for every ECoC, and the largest numbers of local and foreign guests, tourists, and political representatives from Slovenia, Italy, Brussels, and elsewhere in Europe are expected to visit our city and region.
At the opening ceremony of the European Capital of Culture, we will symbolically unite the two cities with a procession connecting Gorizia Railway Station to the one in Nova Gorica. Official opening will take place in Europe Square at 16:00, and cultural programme at 18:00 on the meadow in front of SNG Nova Gorica. More information on the programme is available here.
The performance will be directed by Neda Rusjan Bric, director, actor, writer, professor of screenwriting, and artistic advisor for GO! 2025. She was also the main initiator of Nova Gorica's bid with Gorizia for the European Capital of Culture, which will add a extra meaningful touch to the show.
