The Mladi Levi Festival is presented in various old buildings of Ljubljana (first at the [[Railway Museum of Slovenia]], later in [[Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station]] and also [[Tovarna Rog]]) with the aim of presenting new contemporary productions in juxtaposition with historic heritage. In order to create the circumstances where artists and audiences can meet, exchange experiences and develop future collaborations, the festival invites artists to stay in Ljubljana for the entire length of the festival, giving them a chance to see each other's work, to have the time and opportunity to talk to other artists and audience members in an informal way, and to plan future collaborations.

The Mladi levi or Young Lions Festival is part of the international Junge Hunde Network [(http://www.jungehunde.net (http://www.jungehunde.net]) of producers, managers and organisers from Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Turkey, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Great Britain, France, Norway and Slovenia. The Slovene organiser of the event is Bunker Institute, which initiated the festival in Slovenia in 1998.


The Junge Hunde Network is dedicated to the presentation, promotion, exchange and development of young contemporary performance artists, their new ideas and new works, by providing them with the necessary resources, support and continuity across and beyond European borders. Every year several public events, festivals and single presentations are organised, along with residences, co-productions, artist exchanges, workshops, seminars and debates, in the various cities of the network.

The Mladi Levi Festival is presented in various old buildings of Ljubljana (first at the Railway Museum of Slovenia, later in Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station and also Tovarna Rog) with the aim of presenting new contemporary productions in juxtaposition with historic heritage. In order to create the circumstances where artists and audiences can meet, exchange experiences and develop future collaborations, the festival invites artists to stay in Ljubljana for the entire length of the festival, giving them a chance to see each other's work, to have the time and opportunity to talk to other artists and audience members in an informal way, and to plan future collaborations.
