Launched in 1995, Exodos International Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts was the first international festival of performing arts to be organised in independent Slovenia. Besides presenting contemporary theatre and dance performances of national and international makers, Exodos has always emphasised the educational and theoretical aspects of its work by organising practical workshops, lectures, discussions, and round tables related to the theme of individual festival's editions. From 1999 till 2011 the festival was organised annually by the Exodos Institute. The next editions are biennial.
Overview
Initiated by Miran Šušteršič and his Panoptikon Institute, the Exodos Festival has presented a vast number of prominent and influential performing arts makers and companies. The scope and quality of the presented works makes the festival one of the most important contemporary performing arts festivals in the wider region. Among others, it has featured foreign artists such as Jozsef Nagy, DV8, Enrique Vargas, Wim Vandekeybus, Jan Fabre, Needcompany, Vera Montero, Emio Greco, Ultima Vez, William Forsythe, Jonathan Burrows, Jan Ritsema, Nigel Charnock & Helsinki City Theatre Dance Company, Goran Sergej Pristaš & Bad.co, Compagnie Marie Chouinard, Mark Tompkins, Vera Mantero, Robert Lepage, Lydia Lunch, Mark Tompkins, Daniel Leveille, Rabih Mroué, Jan Decorte, Mark Ravenhill, Dave St-Pierre, Raimund Hoghe, Forced Entertainment, and many more.
Over the years, Exodos has also functioned as a platform for the work of leading Slovene artists, such as Maja Delak, Ivica Buljan, Dragan Živadinov, Sebastijan Horvat, Iztok Kovač, Matjaž Farič, Ema Kugler, Barbara Novakovič, Emil Hrvatin, Betontanc, Fourklor, Matjaž Berger, Diego de Brea, Sanja Nešković Peršin, Mateja Bučar, etc.
Exodos Festival took place for a number of years at Cankarjev dom. The events are also presented at different venues in Ljubljana, such as Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station, Dance Theatre Ljubljana, Španski borci Culture Centre, etc. as well as in non-theatrical spaces.

The 16th edition of Exodos Festival involved the creation of a Labyrinth of Art in the framework of the project World Book Capital Ljubljana 2010. A total of 287 Canadian Hemlock trees have been planted during the year-long project-in-process initiated by Bulgarian visual artist Venelin Shurelov. Eventually, the trees will grow into a labyrinth in which visitors can stroll and reflect.
