Slovenian festival promotes vision of society

Since its launch 13 years ago, the international festival Mladi levi (young lions) celebrated in Ljubljana has developed into a renowned venue for all forms of theatre. The festival organisers rely heavily on the help of volunteers and inter-generational cooperation, the daily Delo comments approvingly: "Mladi levi is a fresh, high-quality festival and provides insight into the current trends in European theatre, above all experimental theatre of movement. But the festival offers much more than just an interesting programme because it has become a unique example of a new approach to organising festivals and of responsible social action. With its new forms of cooperation ... it points out new directions for alienated modern people. With their ecological projects the organisers make an active contribution to improving life in urban centres."
