At the end of September, Josip Vidmar, as a representative of the Executive Committe of the Liberation Front (IOOF), comissioned a play and its performance with the members of the acting group of the cultural division for a secretly-held event. Mile Klopčič wrote the play Mother. Effectively this is the first Partisan play to be written by a professional writer. Its thematic content was most likely based on the tragic events surrouding the mother of Gorše family who had lost five of her sons during the Italian occupation. Due to the secret nature of the meeting, the play was performed underground, in the small hours of the night, at 4 a.m., and this for the occasions of the second session of the Assembly of the Delegates of the Slovene Nation. This theatrical baptism marks the unofficial birthday of the henceforth ongoing Slovene theatre on the liberated territories. Jože Gale reminesces thus: »The first theatre words to resound in the heated atmosphere of the auditorium ... I await my performance. I conjure up the geographical map of Europe. The tiny dot on it is our liberated territory and in the centre of that dot there is Kočevje and us ... cannons thundering on the river Kolpa ... the Slovene National theatre is being born ... What will this child crying out at the dawn of a new day in the heart of occupied Europe be like? (Jože Gale, Actors Came, 1996) The performance left an indelible impression on the audience, not merely with its content but also with its superb performance.
