The theatre director Tomaž Pandur undoubtedly left a strong mark on theatre with his artistic oeuvre. Remaining faithful to his creative credo and his original artistic handwriting until the very end, he generously shared his visions, dreams, solitude, fears, and enthusiasms with his collaborators and companions. He was also meant to open the 2016/17 season at the Drama of SNG Maribor with the production Immaculata, returning to where it all began. However, his life tragically came to an end in April 2016.

The performance, based on the novel by Colm Tóibín, is shaped into fourteen mental landscapes of Mary’s journey—an altar of love, loss, solitude, and the search for meaning in wounds that cannot be healed. Immaculata (The Immaculate One) is a woman reduced to an image, a dogma, an instrument of faith. It is the testimony of a woman erased from history and reshaped into a figure meant to serve the establishment of a ruling religion, which itself distorted the original teachings of Christ into a tool of mass oppression.
