Bunker Institute is a non-profit organisation for the realisation and organisation of cultural events established in 1997 by Nevenka Koprivšek. Bunker produces and presents contemporary theatre and dance performances and organises one of the most noted international theatre and dance festivals, the Young Lions Festival. It also manages the performing arts venue Old Power Station in Ljubljana.


Bunker produces works by different performing arts and dance makers, such as Sanja Nešković Peršin, Jurij Konjar, Mala Kline, Magdalena Reiter, and Jette Ostan Verjup. These 'house artists' tour international festivals, while several international authors have also been presented to Ljubljana audiences as part of Junge Hunde network events. Since 1999, Bunker is also the producer of the physical theatre group Betontanc, led by Matjaž Pograjc. In its productions, Bunker focuses on works that employ innovative approaches, intertwine different art disciplines, as well as offer reflections on topical cultural, political, and social issues.


Bunker actively participates in the international network Junge Hunde that stimulates mobility of young and promising artists. Bunker has organised the annual international festival of theatre and dance Young Lions Festival every end of summer since 1998, which showcases groups and artists with distinctive and original ideas and disciplines from all over the world. Since 2002 Bunker has co-organised Drugajanje Festival together with the 2nd Grammar School in Maribor, which aims to affirm contemporary dance and theatre art among the young with a wide programme of performances, workshops, and lectures. In 2008, Bunker has co-organised (with P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute and Obrat Association the first Complaints Choir in Slovenia.

Since 2004 Bunker has been running the programme at the performing arts venue Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station. The programme consists of theatre and dance performance production, concerts, educational activities, and presentations of different art projects. The facilities are used for rehearsals, education (dance, art management, and other workshops) and stage performances.

Bunker has developed several collaborative projects, one of them being the revival of the cultural house in Medana, a small city in Goriška region, where workshops have been organised in co-operation with the local community. Thus Medana is becoming an international residency centre, an important meeting point and a venue.

Bunker is a member of the following international networks: Junge Hunde, Theorem, Informal European Theatre Meeting (IETM), DBM and Balkan Express.
