A state celebration is an event of broader state significance that combines the fields of artistic, popular and protocol knowledge – elements that Filipčič knows well both from his theatre work and his experience with putting on various events. For him, state celebrations are events of unification, which is why he devotes his attention to creating content for a wide range of tastes based on a strong story, tight structure and quality execution, joining elements from history, classical art and popular culture. He has directed ten state celebrations, for which he also wrote the scripts and designed the sets.
