It presents original approaches to theatre and dance, focusing on talented and emerging stage performers, along with presenting already established progressive authors. It takes place every end of the summer and was initiated in 1998 under the auspices of the international network Junge Hunde. | ||

Principles
In order to create circumstances where artists and audiences can meet, exchange experiences, and develop future collaborations, the festival invites artists to stay in Ljubljana for the entire length of the festival. This gives them a chance to see each other's work, have the time and opportunity to talk to other artists and audience members in an informal way, and plan future collaborations.

During some editions, the festival journal Arena was published, covering the festival's performances. The contributions were mainly written by young writers in collaboration with the Maska Magazine. In 2010, it was also available online on the Sigledal.org - Slovene theatre portal. In 2017, yet another outlet was created, a website portal for criticism called Kriterij, which was upgraded into Aplavz.art in 2022, featuring critics of the performances and articles about connected topics.
Collaborations and venues
The festival collaborates with various producers and groups such as Beton Ltd., Sploh Institute, MoTA Museum of Transitory Art, Via Negativa, ProstoRož, and others. The festival also presented three emerging makers, former participants of the Nomad Dance Academy Slovenia.
Often, the festival opens important themes through performances and discussions. This happens in the format of Discussion Café, which takes place in public space under the trees, or through special events such as conferences, forums, or artistic activities (e.g., in the frame of the Mediterranean experiment Sostenuto, the festival also organized the project My Street, within which a street exchange focused on all sorts of exchange and sharing on the basis of solidarity in a direct and money-free spirit; the festival featured the forum about emotional materialism through the international project Trans-making, a conference about art and communities Create to Impact, and a conference about the themes of art and ecology in the frame of ACT – Art, Climate, Transition international network). In the 2024 edition, Mladi levi is hosting the Shared Landscapes international co-production with Rimini Protokoll featuring four days of performances happening in the woods.
In the past, the Mladi Levi Festival utilized various venues across Ljubljana, among them the Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice and Tovarna Rog, thus presenting new contemporary productions in juxtaposition with historical heritage. Since 2004, most of the home of the festival is at the Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station; the performances are taking place there and in numerous other venues across Ljubljana, among which are Sports Society Tabor, Glej Theatre, Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, Španski borci Culture Centre. Some performances and discussions also take place in public space.
