Don’t be scared!

Text by: Maja Pirš

I always knew men were afraid of women, I just never figured out why. After decades of various theories, I finally got my answer reading these lines taken from an education text book for women from the 1960: “When retiring to the bedroom, prepare yourself for bed as promptly as possible. Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance, your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, but remember to look your best when going to bed. If you need to apply face cream or hair rollers, wait until he is asleep before doing so, as it can be shocking for a man last thing at night.”

Poor men! Truly shocking! Imagine the strain of trying to unwind with such picture in mind!

Dear men, at the Maribor Festival we gave this problem serious consideration and came up with perfect solution. Come to our concerts! You will relax enjoying great music performed by great artists plus learn a thing or two about women and (hopefully) realize there is (almost) no need to be scared. You can even bring your wife or girlfriend with you! Without fear! Because we can assure you: when you return to your bedroom it’ll be much to late in the night for her to bother with hair rollers!

P.S.: Brigita asked me to thank this year’s partners and co-producers of the festival: Narodni dom Maribor, Slovene National Theatre Maribor and Musikabende Graz for their support. With pleasure! It is truly great to have all of them on board, especially in times like these, when much to often the “each man for himself” seems to be the ultimate survival tactics! Sincere thanks from us all!

P.P.S.: Dear men, the CEOs of the above mentioned institutions (all men) set a great example of what Maribor Festival can do for men fighting their fears. They teamed up with Brigita even though her new hair do is – curly!
