Programme and locations
The festival takes place in Ljubljana but also presents individual works in other Slovene cities including Kranj, Nova Gorica, Celje, Vrhnika, Novo mesto, Kamnik, Grosuplje. Since 1996, part of the festival's programme also appears 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. Of the 250 to 400 artists who participate in the festival, 60 % are international guests who travel short and long distances from their countries to perform in Slovenia.
The 2009 festival presented over 70 performances at various venues in the Ljubljana 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, a performance by the Bulgarian Plovdiv Drama Theatre, an event organised by the 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 and Ana Plamenita
Ana Monró Theatre organises performances and other street art related events also during the winter holiday season. In the frame of Ana Mraz (in English: Ana Frost) it presents its newest productions in the Ljubljana city centre just before New Year's, 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 the Ljubljana Tourist Board, offering performances by the dancers Jurij Konjar and Katjuša Kovačič, a circus performance by Frateli Probankini (Cro/Slo), a show by the French Benjamin Delams, and others.
In December 2009, Ana Monró Theatre launched the festival Ana Plamenita (in English: Ana Blaze), within which it organised an international workshop of fire decoration with the Belgian artists Gust Van der Krieken, in co-operation with the Slovene Voluntariat, which is part of the organisation Service Civil International (SCI). The participants from Spain, Russia, Serbia, Hungary, Finland, Germany, and Taiwan prepared fire sculptures, fire installations, and a torch procession to the Ljubljana Castle.
