Despite being only a short bike/bus ride or walk from the city centre, a trip to the the birthplace of Slovenia's first poet Valentin Vodnik feels like visiting a countryside village. Tucked away in a leafy residential area of Šiška, since 2012 the beautifully restored 17th century manor house has been home to the Centre of Sonorous Arts, which organises a wide variety of cultural events and activities including exhibitions, installations, concerts, children's workshops, research, lectures, music lessons, guided tours and of course sonorous theatre performances.

Developed by a passionate team led by Hanna Preuss, the sonorous theatre comprises of a variety of art forms whose basic means of expression are sound, rhythm and atmosphere, and performances often intertwine with other art forms, such as film, music, theatre, poetry and dance. The centre is truly the first and only of its kind in the world and definitely a must-see attraction for those interested in contemporary arts. See the centre's website for more info a complete schedule of upcoming events.
