Launched in 1995, Exodos International Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts was the first international festival of performing arts to be organised in independent Slovenia. Besides presenting contemporary theatre and dance performances of national and international makers, Exodos has always emphasised the significance of theoretical reflections of performing arts creativity by organising lectures and workshops. The festival is organised annually by Exodos Institute since 1999.

Exodos has always emphasised the educational and theoretical aspects of its work by organising practical workshops, lectures, discussions, and round tables related to the theme of individual festival's editions, as well as organised conversations with makers appearing at the festival. In April 2011 the 17th edition of the Exodos Festival hosts the 6th Balkan Dance Platform.

Overview of recent festival's editions

In 2007, the theme of the festival was Art and Pornography and presented Dave St. Pierre's La Pornographie des âmes (Bare Naked Souls), Mette Ingavrtsen's 50/50, and Wayne Traub's musical opera Maria Dolores. This festival section also included a theoretical part, which tackled the issue of pornographic discourse in Slovene culture and theatre space, and organised a practical dramaturgy workshop with Bojana Kunst, Ivana Ivković, and George Skalkogianis. In 2007, the Ministry of Culture withdrew its support, the festival thus organised an ad-hoc presentation of projects rejected support at the Ministry at Glej Theatre, while the programme also presented Janez Janša's Fake It!, co-produced by Maska Institute and Exodos Institute and Via Negativa's performance Four Deaths.

The 2008 edition of Exodos thematically highlighted the issue of lack, opening up the question of the accessibility of culture to people with special needs. It featured Raimund Hoghe's 36, Avenue Georges Mandel, Dave St-Pierre's A little tenderness for crying out loud!, Lydia Lunch's The Ghosts of Spain, etc.

The 2009 edition was titled Technological Occupations and presented the informance Postgravity Art::Syntapiens by Dragan Živadinov, Dunja Zupančič, and Miha Turšič, produced by Delak Institute, accompanied by the photographic exhibition by the Russian cosmonaut Jurij Baturin at the Herman Potočnik Noordung Memorial Centre Vitanje, the presentation of the year-long project Ballettikka Internetikka, co-produced by Intima Virtual Base and Cona Institute, the multi-genre performance Sleep by Big Art Group and Caden Manson, dealing with environmental issues and contemporary existential crises in the digitalised society, the experimental project EUX by the Belgian art group CREW, employing technological tools to relativise perception of reality, and the project small metal objects by the Back to Back Theatre.
