Career

Primož Pirnat launched his professional life fresh from AGRFT, landing his debut film role in the stark coming-of-age drama Breakages (1997), a project that captured post-Yugoslav unease and introduced his brooding physicality to Slovenian audiences.

He joined the ensemble at SNG Nova Gorica in 2001, where he honed his stage craft in ensemble plays and contemporary adaptations, building a foundation that blended raw energy with precise emotional layering.

Early theater work, including roles in Ibsen revivals and local premieres, earned him initial festival nods and paved the way for screen opportunities that demanded the same versatility.

Pirnat’s breakthrough arrived in the late 2000s with the lead in Damjan Kozole’s unflinching social drama Slovenian Girl (2009), where he embodied a morally ambiguous pimp navigating human trafficking’s shadows, clinching a Vesna Award nomination and drawing comparisons to international anti-heroes.

That same year, he shone in the chaotic ensemble of E-Pigs (2009), a black comedy on rural dysfunction, while expanding his theater profile at Prešernovo gledališče Kranj from 2009 and freelancing at Mestno gledališče ljubljansko by 2010.

These dual-track successes, including voice work in animations and TV guest spots, solidified his range across mediums and garnered three additional national awards for performances in films like Rooster’s Breakfast (2007).

Primož Pirnat freelances across Slovenia’s premier stages, delivering commanding turns in productions at SNT Drama Ljubljana while selecting film roles that echo his theater roots, such as the layered family man in Prasica (2021).

He mentors emerging talent through AGRFT workshops, emphasizing improvisation and cultural relevance, and contributes to festivals that spotlight post-independence narratives.

His selective portfolio, including upcoming works like Hotel Alkohol and Tartuferije, continues to influence Slovenian actors who prioritize authenticity and quiet rebellion in storytelling.
