Life and work[]

Rozman was born in Ljubljana in 1955. He abandoned his study of Slovene language and literature at University of Ljubljana to set up a small theatre group in 1978. In 1980s he co-founded a street theatre group, and was its director between 1982 and 1995.[2] He was co-writer of the low-budget TV comedy Vrtičkarji (2000), but left after the first thirteen episodes, disappointed by the production.[3] Since 2003 he has run his own theatre company Rozinteater.[4]
