The Mladi levi Festival (in English: Young Lions Festival) is an annual international festival of contemporary performing arts, organized by the Bunker Institute. 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.

The festival has a distinctive atmosphere marked by creativity, vibrancy, and a social nature. It is an interdisciplinary place of exchange and cooperation, extending beyond the habitual local or international concepts.

Bunker tries to stimulate discussions regarding various artistic practices and subjects and to create artistic programmes and events that reflect upon topical social, ecological, political, and cultural issues.

In 2004, Bunker was awarded the management of the Old Power Station in Ljubljana during the public tender period initiated by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. The programme in the Stara elektrarna consists of theatre and dance performance productions, in an educational manner and strictly performance based. Besides this, the Bunker is hosting other festivals, concerts, and various interdisciplinary events and actively collaborates with numerous artists, theatres, festivals, and networks within Slovenia and abroad.
