15th International Festival Mladi levi

August 23 – September 2, 2012, Ljubljana, Slovenia

“This year’s festival programme is in tune with the times we live in, as it demonstrates a profound engagement and strong political agenda through the expressive manners of the artists who delve into the issues of blind consumerism, who speak up about energy consumption and chaos and, finally, who don’t shy away from staging direct democracy.”
