Mladi Levi International Festival 2014

The Mladi Levi International Festival is one of the more prominent annual events of the Bunker institution, bringing the most current performing artists from all over the world to Ljubljana every end of the summer. Engaged art will define this year’s programme, with contemporary performances highlighting documentary theatre and thus presenting stories that melt the intimate with the political. For the present-day world reconfirms the catchword that reality is stranger than fiction and in a way, the stories to emerge at the Mladi levi festival reflect the time we live in. Not like a mirror though, which is a general assumption about theatre, they merely disclose a new view on reality, a new perspective – the world we know and live, from a new angle.

This year’s festival opening will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana. In a tribute to all those who throughout the years have contributed to a rich programme of one of the most vibrant contemporary performing arts venues in Ljubljana, a special music – visual event will take place on the platform next to the venue.

Voluntary contributions

In the same way that artists invent and employ their own strategies for making the world a more just and sustainable place, the Bunker production team strives to maintain and ensure equal access for all to the art it offers. However, we do call for solidarity here: the festival will remain free of all entrance fees, but we ask each and every visitor to show consideration and contribute according to their own economic capacity. We’ve managed to find the financial means necessary to make the festival happen – it is now up to its visitors to help keep it free of charge in the future. Let us all make a statement together. Let’s demonstrate our willingness to pay for culture with what we can afford and contribute to it being – at least financially – accessible to everyone.

Kindergarten, Lion cubs

Access to culture is subject to several elements beyond mere economics. When it comes to parents, we know that it’s important that their children are looked after. With that in mind, we’ll have a corner in Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana transformed into a vibrant kindergarten for the third year in a row. Children from one to ten years of age will be safely looked after during all the performances in the power plant. The kindergarten will open one hour prior to the performance and close one hour after. Volunteers will make sure that the children can enjoy a safe playroom with snacks, drinks and the freedom to play and create. Babysitting is free of charge, we only ask that you notify us a day in advance by email: janja.buzecan@bunker.si or phone: +386 41 644 409.
