Organised since in 1998, Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival is an annual festival organised by the Ana Monró Theatre. Held at the beginning of summer (mainly) in Ljubljana, the festival offers different street art genres and other performances (theatre, dance) by numerous artists. The festival’s popularity among the people of Ljubljana has also grown steadily: in 2009 over 70 events were seen by some 30,000 spectators. Ana Desetnica also organises events in autumn (Ana Plamenita) and during the winter (Ana Mraz).

About

Ana Desetnica

The festival takes place in Ljubljana but also presents individual works Kranj, Nova Gorica, Celje, Vrhnika, Novo mesto, Kamnik, Grosuplje. Part of the festival's programme appears also at Lent Festival in Maribor. The programme seeks to present various genres, styles, forms and contents of street theatre art, and includes everything from small individual acts to large-scale performances, from programmes for children to provocative shows for adults, from pantomime to illusions, from street music to contemporary dance, from visual acts to narratives, from drama to humour, and from circus skills to pyrotechnics, which attract a wide range of audience groups. The programme often includes authors from Eastern European countries as well as from the Far East.

The 2009 festival presented over 70 performances at various venues in the city centre. The programme hosted several domestic and foreign street theatre groups and artists. The opening day presented a performance by Circus Kansky at Park Argentina, where a tent was set up where a number of workshops, performances, and a bazaar were held. The programme included also a magnificent procession of the French group Malabar, a pyrotechnic/water show by the German Baengditos, several productions of Ana Monró Theatre, the French Les Goulus, the international project H2O by the German Antagon, performance by the Bolgarian Plovdiv Drama Theatre, an event organised by the Ljubljana Association of Puppeteers, and a miniature by Jaap Slagman. The MachinA programme, an education programme led by Ana Monró Theatre, presented a selection of the youngest Slovene street theatre groups, some of the shows were premières. The festival also offered performances from Kyrgyzstan, India, Italy, Argentina, and the Netherlands. It concluded with a Feast Poljane that included street art performances, presentations of the local community, and an international procession Light-Luce.

Ana Mraz

The festival organises performances and other street art related events also during winter time. In the frame of Ana Mraz (in English: Ana Cold), Ana Monró Theatre presents its newest productions in the Ljubljana city centre, and also invites different domestic and international groups and authors. In 2009, the events were held at the Shoemaker's Bridge and were co-organised with Zavod za turizem Ljubljana, offering performances by the dancers Jurij Konjar and Katjuša Kovačič, circus performance by Frateli Probankini (Cro/Slo), a show by the French Benjamin Delams, and others.
