In the 1980s Mladinsko Theatre initiated a unique interdisciplinary stage research and its productions (''Missa in A Minor'' [Maša v a molu] (1980), ''Victims of the Bang Bang Fashion'' [Žrtve mode bum-bum] (1975), ''The Class Enemy'' [Razredni sovražnik] (1982), ''Romeo and Juliet - Comments'' [Romeo in Julija - komentarji] (1983), ''The Persians'' [Peržani] (1981), ''Anna'' [Ana] (1984), etc.) were widely acclaimed during the 1980s for their political engagement as well as for their innovative approach to ''mise-en-scène''. The performance ''Victims of the Bang Bang Fashion'', directed by [[Dušan Jovanović]], who was the artistic director of Mladinsko Theatre in the 1980s, put Mladinsko Theatre on the international map of experimental theatres. However, the complete aesthetic break was brought about with the performance ''Missa in A Minor'', directed by Ljubiša Ristić, who staged an original montage of Danilo Kiš's text ''A Tomb for Boris Davidović'' with fragments from political texts of Lenin, Trotsky, Proudhon, Bakunin, etc., thus departing from the traditional relation between the literary text and theatre. This gesture that constituted a new understanding of theatre proved to be decisive for the general orientation of Mladinsko Theatre in the future. By the end of the 1980s, Mladinsko Theatre production took on a turn from making subversive, director-oriented theatre to making theatre by deconstructing modernist theatre traditions, a transition that was most notably epitomised by [[Vito Taufer]]'s dramatisation of Lewis Caroll's ''Alice in Wonderland'' [Alica v čudežni deželi] (1986), which combined the apparently incompatible: childlike sensibility and daredevil theatre experimentation.

The production of the 1990s was marked by spectacle and intimacy, the aesthetic radicality approached the post-modernist theatre of images, while Mladinsko Theatre continued to work with stage directors whose dialogue with dramatic texts and personal poetics was inventive and avant-garde. The last turn in Mladinsko Theatre production was introduced by the youngest generation of directors at the turn of the century, who again brought to the focus the dramatic text. In its productions, Mladinsko Theatre continues to thematise the universal paradoxes of civilisation, its programme being founded in problematisations of new times and spaces. In 2008, the European Commission awarded Mladinsko Theatre the title European Ambassador of Culture.

Mladinsko Theatre is one of two municipal theatres in Ljubljana and is considered to be a laboratory for actors and directors, choreographers and musicians to research and develop, risk and create. Mladinsko Theatre's recent première is a stage adaptation of Anthony Burgess' cult novel A Clockwork Orange [Peklenska pomaranča], directed by the theatre director Matjaž Pograjc. The theatre regularly tours worldwide and was awarded the the title European Ambassador of Culture by European Commission in 2008.


History

Mladinsko Theatre was established in 1955 as the first professional theatre for children and youth in Slovenia. Although Mladinsko Theatre's productions of its first decade aimed at younger audiences with the stagings of adaptations of classical as well as domestic youth literature, the theatre's first director Balbina Battelino Baranovič (who established in 1955 also the first experimental theatre in Slovenia, introducing the theatre-in-the-round" principle) succeeded to professionalise the theatre's activities and present them to a wider audience. Mladinsko Theatre means in English 'youth theatre', however the theatre has outgrown its primarily role while keeping the name.

In the 1980s Mladinsko Theatre initiated a unique interdisciplinary stage research and its productions (Missa in A Minor [Maša v a molu] (1980), Victims of the Bang Bang Fashion [Žrtve mode bum-bum] (1975), The Class Enemy [Razredni sovražnik] (1982), Romeo and Juliet - Comments [Romeo in Julija - komentarji] (1983), The Persians [Peržani] (1981), Anna [Ana] (1984), etc.) were widely acclaimed during the 1980s for their political engagement as well as for their innovative approach to mise-en-scène. The performance Victims of the Bang Bang Fashion, directed by Dušan Jovanović, who was the artistic director of Mladinsko Theatre in the 1980s, put Mladinsko Theatre on the international map of experimental theatres. However, the complete aesthetic break was brought about with the performance Missa in A Minor, directed by Ljubiša Ristić, who staged an original montage of Danilo Kiš's text A Tomb for Boris Davidović with fragments from political texts of Lenin, Trotsky, Proudhon, Bakunin, etc., thus departing from the traditional relation between the literary text and theatre. This gesture that constituted a new understanding of theatre proved to be decisive for the general orientation of Mladinsko Theatre in the future. By the end of the 1980s, Mladinsko Theatre production took on a turn from making subversive, director-oriented theatre to making theatre by deconstructing modernist theatre traditions, a transition that was most notably epitomised by Vito Taufer's dramatisation of Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland [Alica v čudežni deželi] (1986), which combined the apparently incompatible: childlike sensibility and daredevil theatre experimentation.

The production of the 1990s was marked by spectacle and intimacy, the aesthetic radicality approached the post-modernist theatre of images, while Mladinsko Theatre continued to work with stage directors whose dialogue with dramatic texts and personal poetics was inventive and avant-garde. The last turn in Mladinsko Theatre production was introduced by the youngest generation of directors at the turn of the century, who again brought to the focus the dramatic text. In its productions, Mladinsko Theatre continues to thematise the universal paradoxes of civilisation, its programme being founded in problematisations of new times and spaces.

In 2006 Mladinsko Theatre celebrated its 50th anniversary, publishing an illustrated book about its history, entitled Has the Future Already Arrived? [Ali je prihodnost že prišla].

Programme

Mladinsko Theatre prepares around five new productions each year, some of them in co-operation with guest directors and in co-production with independent producers. Mladinsko's productions include adaptations of classical and contemporary texts (from Shakespeare's The Tempest [Vihar] (2008) to Sarah Kane's Blasted [Razdejani] (2008)) as well as authorial projects.

The season of 2009/10 is entitled "Art, Eros, Hope" and presents six premières: a project by the uncompromising Croatian director Oliver Frljić and five texts (two of them commissioned by Mladinsko Theatre) that have not yet been staged in Slovenia. Vito Taufer is presenting his twenty-first direction in Mladinsko Theatre, namely Crave [Sla] by Sarah Kane, Ivan Peternelj's project is inspired by the novel Amado Mio by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Vinko Möderndorfer is directing a new play Šumi by Peter Božič, which presents socially marginalised characters in the now-demolished café in Ljubljana which used to be the meeting place of artists and philosophers, and Ivica Buljan will present his adaptation of Marina Tsvetaeva's Vampire [Vampir].

Since 2008 the Mladinsko Theatre runs its own festival called Mladinsko Festival, which besides Mladinsko Theatre's productions also presents selected performances from abroad.

International cooperation

Mladinsko Theatre regularly makes guest performances at international festivals worldwide (Nancy, Hamburg, Belgrade, London, Moscow, Essen, Cardiff, Lisbon, Madrid, Bogoa, New York) and also hosts selected performances from other countries. Its most acclaimed performances have included Alice in Wonderland, Drama Observatorium Zenith, Scheherazade, Roberto Zucco, Miss Juliet, Silence Silence Silence, Othello, Queen Margot, Fragile! and The Epic of Gilgamesh.
