OPENING OF THE FESTIVAL

The 15th international Mladi levi festival will open its doors on August 23rd at 8 pm. The first festival evening will take place at the platform by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum. It will start off with a welcoming speech and continue with the solemn opening of the installation Mobile House (Practice for a Revolution), as conceived by the Japanese author Kyohei Sakaguchi. The installation opening will be followed by an invitation for all guests to see the performance Was ist Maribor? as devised by the authors Aljoša Ternovšek, Sebastijan Horvat, Matjaž Latin, Andreja Kopač and many former employees of the Maribor Automobile and Motorcycle Factory (TAM).

You are all kindly invited to attend the young lions’ dance! DJ teoP (Belo Smetje) will be in charge of spinning music, which will blend with a grand video projection by the Japanese video artist Kiyotaka Yoshimitsu to celebrate 15 years of the festival. Yoshimitsu’s video has captured traces left behind by previous festivals and added his authorial touch to this visual reminiscence.

The chef and innovative creator Primož Dolničar, assisted by the ladies from the Activity Centre for the Elderly, will prepare snacks for the festival opening.

Voluntary contributions
Putting a price on priceless things is always a futile endeavour, especially since the driving force behind all festival-related activities has never been income for Bunker, but the desire to offer quality art to a wide circle of audiences. The current crisis is increasingly putting a strain on the accessibility of cultural artefacts and goods, which is why we’ve decided to adopt a somewhat more democratic approach to ticket policy: every person should give as much as they believe we deserve. The box for voluntary contributions will stand at every festival venue; you can make contributions before or after each event. The collected funds for this year’s festival will be used for the purchase of a projector bulb and new theatre reflectors that we need to replace the beat-up old ones. We will inform the public about the collected funds after the festival.
We kindly ask you to support our festival and future work in accordance with your own possibilities.

Kindergarten, LION CUBS
Care service will be provided for children between the ages of one and ten during the festival period. Our little guests will be watched over and kept busy by festival volunteers during all the performances in the Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana. The kindergarten will open one hour before the performance and close one hour after. We will provide drinks, snacks, toys and books. You can also bring your own things.

The children’s care service is free of charge, we merely ask that all interested parents notify us at least one day in advance. Contact details for making a reservation: janja.buzecan@bunker.si or 041 644 409.

FREE tickets to all events, but you can support our festival with voluntary contributions.
