Mini Theatre was founded in 1999 by the actor and puppeteer Robert Waltl and director Ivica Buljan with the purpose to enhance creativity in post drama theatre and in the theatre for the young. The company holds a small hall at Ljubljana Castle where puppet and theatre performances for children, youth, and adults are presented. A new theatre hall at Križevniška ulica in the old city centre of Ljubljana was opened in 2009. The theatre has won a number of awards and recognitions for its theatrical achievements in Slovenia and abroad.


Programme

Mini Theatre’s basic activity is production of quality puppet and theatre performances in co-operation with artists from different artistic environments, staging about 500 performances in Slovenia and abroad annually. The theatre is dedicated mainly to puppetry performances of various genres but also produces acted contemporary theatre performances for adults and youth within its Post-drama Theatre section, working with Slovene and international stage directors and actors, such as Robert Waltl, Ivica Buljan, Philippe Calvario, Jaka Ivanc, etc. Next to staging of Slovene texts (preferably from Slovene national heritage), contemporary world drama texts for adults are promoted as well as development of new approaches in directing. Mini Theatre's newly obtained venue at Križevniška Street also hosts performances of other producers, concerts, and exhibitions.

In 2005 Mini Theatre collaborated with Wax Factory, New York, on a multimedia production She Said... with a soundtrack by Random Logic. In 2006 and 2007 its productions included Quartet [Kvartet] by Heiner Mueller, Mad About Vincent by Herve Guibert as well as five performances for children: Little Red Riding Hood by Brothers Grimm and Caliph Stork by Wilhelm Hauff, The Mishmash Bakery [Pekarna Mišmaš] by the Slovenian poet Svetlana Makarovič, The Wishing Table by Brothers Grimm and Marek Becka, and The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen and Robert Waltl. Some of recent most recognised performances by Mini Theatre include Macbeth After Shakespeare [Macbeth po Shakespearu] (2009), co-produced by Cankarjev Dom and ZeKaM, Croatia, which was awarded as the best performance at the 2009 Borštnik Theatre Festival, Jackie by Elfriede Jelinek, directed by Ivica Buljan and co-produced by New Theatre Zagreb, Croatia, Bernard - Marie Koltès' The Night Just Before the Forests [Noč čisto na robu gozdov] (2009), directed by Buljan and co-produced by ARL Dubrovnik and New Theatre Zagreb, Croatia, Ingmar Bergman's Persona (2010), directed by Janez Pipan, and so on. Mini Theatre was awarded several times at the Borštnik Theatre Festival and at the Slovene Puppetry Biennial and has received an award from the Slovene Drama Artists Association. It regularly participates in major Slovene theatre festivals.
