Since then, APT has collaborated with over 150 makers/artists in producing large-scale post-drama theatre performances. Thus, in 2007 APT premièred the inscenation ''Alain Badiou: XX. Century'' [Alain Badiou: XX. stoletje], directed by Berger, which employed the performance model that included a corpus of theatre gestures, internet art, a rock concert, and sports, and included actors, musicians, dancers, and cyclists. The spectacle took place at the Cycling Velodrome near Novo mesto. In 2008, APT produced a follow-up to this performance, namely Bertolt Brecht's ''Me-ti / Book of Twists and Turns'' [Me-ti / Knjiga obratov], also directed by Berger, which attempted to reflect on the questions opened up in this famous Brecht's text, namely, how does a subject constitute and maintain her/his dignity, attitude, gesture in the times permeated with forced choices. APT' programme presented also projects by Marko Mlačnik, the performance ''Left Terrorism'' [Levi terorizem] (2008) dealt with the legacy of movements and thinkers of the 60s from the previous century, drawing from concrete, "real" destinies of four German terrorists, members of the 1st generation of Red Army Faction - RAF, and ''Confessions'' [Spovedi] (2009) by Dušan Jovanović, which reflected on the ambivalent connection between a confession, truth, and power, disclosing the nature of a confession as a prevailing cultural form. | Since then, APT has collaborated with over 150 makers/artists in producing large-scale post-drama theatre performances.

Programme
APT finds its primary challenge in performing the antagonisms and ground-breaking turns in different societies, circumstances, tastes, and mentalities. The theatre launched its programme with Bertolt Brecht's Galileo Galilei (2006), directed by Matjaž Berger, followed by the intimate dance spectacle Sun City (2007), based on the literary utopian text from the 16th century The City of the Sun by the Italian theologist and philosopher Tommaso Campanella, co-produced by Fičo Balet, and the musical fairy tale Peter and the Wolf [Peter in volk] (2007), directed by Nana Milčinski and Matjaž Berger.
Since then, APT has collaborated with over 150 makers/artists in producing large-scale post-drama theatre performances. Thus, in 2007 APT premièred the inscenation Alain Badiou: XX. Century [Alain Badiou: XX. stoletje], directed by Berger, which employed the performance model that included a corpus of theatre gestures, internet art, a rock concert, and sports, and included actors, musicians, dancers, and cyclists. The spectacle took place at the Cycling Velodrome near Novo mesto. In 2008, APT produced a follow-up to this performance, namely Bertolt Brecht's Me-ti / Book of Twists and Turns [Me-ti / Knjiga obratov], also directed by Berger, which attempted to reflect on the questions opened up in this famous Brecht's text, namely, how does a subject constitute and maintain her/his dignity, attitude, gesture in the times permeated with forced choices. APT' programme presented also projects by Marko Mlačnik, the performance Left Terrorism [Levi terorizem] (2008) dealt with the legacy of movements and thinkers of the 60s from the previous century, drawing from concrete, "real" destinies of four German terrorists, members of the 1st generation of Red Army Faction - RAF, and Confessions [Spovedi] (2009) by Dušan Jovanović, which reflected on the ambivalent connection between a confession, truth, and power, disclosing the nature of a confession as a prevailing cultural form.
International cooperation
In 2008, APT entered its first international co-production with the Theatre City Festival Budva, Monte Negro. The performance Kadmopolis - a Look From the Distance [Kadmopolis - Udaljeni pogled], directed by Matjaž Berger, investigates the myths of the emergence of settlements in the Mediterranean area, interweaving them with fragments from texts by Beckett, Hegel, Sartre, Eluard, and Pavić. In 2009, APT co-produced with the Bologna-based Teatri di Vita, Italy, the performance Portrait of a Lady [Portret neke gospe], directed by Matjaž Berger, which won two awards at the Borštnik Theatre Festival in Maribor in 2009: Matjaž Berger received the Borštnik Award for the unique performing discourse and Peter Penko for best musical score.
Anton Podbevšek Theatre Academy
APT also launched an interdisciplinary programme of reflection on the arts and the contemporary theatre discourse in particular. Aiming to inform the viewer with topical reflections as well as to prepare him for new modes of presentation, APT is developing two models. It organises colloquia and symposiums, thematically related to APT's theatre projects, which commonly host philosophers, theatre researchers, directors, and translators, and a weekly educational programme for the Novo mesto secondary school population, offering knowledges about basic paradigms of 20th century theatre practices through practical insights.
In addition to its performing arts and educational activities, APT also organises an art cinema programme and runs a photographic gallery.
