Ljubljana, [Slovenia] 10 August - The 19th Young Lions
international festival of performing arts, to be launched on 19 August,
will be somewhat different from the previous editions as it provides
more space for reflection, debate and research, the organisers announced
on Wednesday. Each year, the Young Lions (Mladi levi) international festival brings
together performing groups and solo artists whose work is characterised
by original approaches to theatre and dance. The festival is part of the
Junge Hunde international network, whose mission is to bring together
young artists from across Europe, present their work to international
audiences, and review innovative practices in European theatre. STA

19th consecutive edition of the Mladi levi international festival of contemporary arts is bringing to Ljubljana leading-edge stage artists from all over the world. An allegorical performance by the French director Philippe Quesne, Night of the Moles, will open the festival, where gigantic magical creatures lead spectators into the cavity of the world in the search for shelter. The festival this year also proudly presents Penny Arcade, the legend of the New York underground scene, and last year’s festival highlight, the Brazilian artist Christiane Jatahy, contemporary Belgian avant-garde Benjamin Verdonck, joining forces with a young Portuguese artist Maria Lucia Cruz Correia to orchestrate poetic surprises across the city and many more. The festival programme is available at its website. Visit Ljubljana
