== Programme ==
 +

In creating its programme, the theatre engages in fruitful collaborations with artists from different artistic environments as well as with domestic and international co-producers and strives towards a theatre of experimentation to develop more demanding theatrical formats.
 +
 +
Mini Theatre has co-produced performances with Slovenian institutes, such as the [[Prešeren Theatre Kranj]], the [[Slovene National Theatre Nova Gorica]], [[Cankarjev dom]], [[Ptuj City Theatre]], [[Ljubljana Puppet Theatre]], etc., and participated in international partnerships with Zagreb New Theatre, Art Workshop Lazareti Dubrovnik, Zagreb Youth Theatre, Zadar Snova Festival, Teatar ITD, Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc Rijeka, Theaterhaus Berlin. It regularly performs in major Slovene theatre festivals and has received several awards at the [[Borštnik Theatre Festival]] and the [[Slovene Puppetry Biennial]] as well as from the [[Slovenian Association of Dramatic Artists]].

===Puppetry===
 +
Mini Theatre offers a wide programme of puppet performances, ranging from adaptations of original texts to hybrid performances intertwining traditional puppetry with visual arts, story-telling, dance, etc. Aiming to bring modern visuality and contents to the sphere of puppetry, Mini Theatre collaborates with acclaimed as well as emerging theatre directors, such as Alexander Anurov, Aleksei Leliavski, Pavel Polak, Marek Becka, etc. The programme for the young dedicates special attention to innovative educational projects. The co-production ''Thumbelina'', created by the theatre's art director [[Robert Waltl]] in collaboration with [[Tadej Fius]] and [[Darij Kreuh]], is the first virtual puppet performance in the world, a combination of computer animation and puppet performance presented in the virtual computer environment. The theatre's puppet programme has a strong local and international presence.

Between 2009 and 2015, Mini Theatre was a part of the international Puppet Nomad Academy, a Creative Europe-funded project aimed at connecting the great masters of puppetry with young aspiring puppeteers to foster innovation and creativity in the area of puppetry and promote intercultural dialogue. The initiative connected puppeteers from Armenia, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia and Belgium.
 +
 +
===Post-dramatic theatre===
 +

The theatre is also actively engaged in promoting contemporary drama texts for adults through the production of contemporary post-dramatic performances for adults and youth, working with Slovene and international stage directors and actors, such as [[Robert Waltl]], [[Ivica Buljan]], Philippe Calvario, [[Jaka Ivanc]], [[Primož Ekart]], etc. Next to establishing new approaches in directing and always in search of the subversive potentials of art, Mini Theatre explores new forms of theatre, monodrama, performance art, physical theatre, live readings of texts, political and theoretical discourse, contextualising these new forms through the lens of post-dramatic theatre.
