MLADI LEVI 2010

The Art of a Story

Finding one’s way in today’s society is becoming an increasingly difficult challenge. The economic, social, and ecological crisis pressing the contemporary individual comes hand in hand with a crisis of values and uncertainty in the search for meaning. It indeed appears most likely that the theatre will above all remain an arena which allows for a long-missed feeling of community, belonging, and connectedness to emerge over and over again in a manner almost unintended and coincidental.
The Mladi Levi Festival takes place in the late summer atmosphere of increased sensibility and receptiveness, making us want to invite each other to have a look under the surface and thus to mutually enter a landscape inhabited by a different soul, mentality, and reality.
The Festival once again brings a breath of fresh air and stories from all over the world, this time placing special emphasis on the rather distant and less familiar Asia. Stories of a personal, or documentary nature are narrated as testimonies of individuals who are faced with the complexities of the present time and society. Such stories and many others will become interwoven with the local context, which is also the target of our slow but nevertheless persistent effort to awaken a feeling of community as well as a responsible and personal attitude towards the local environment.

Dear friends, artists, and Mladi Levi Festival fans, Please accept our invitation to celebrate together, to peek into the Garden by the Way, and, first and foremost, to enjoy the performances!
