Formally organised since 1998 by the Ana Monró Theatre, Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival is the biggest festival of street theatre and improvisation arts in Slovenia. Annually held at the beginning of summer in over 10 cities across Slovenia, the festival offers different street art genres and other performances by renowned and emerging practitioners.

Ana Monró Theatre also organises two further festivals, the autumn Ana Plamenita and the winter Ana Mraz festival.


Programme

Aiming to explore the nature of street interventions and to advocate for the free use of public space, the festival runs a diversified international programme of street arts related events, ranging from theatre, circus, and dance performances, live sculptures, site-specific and site-generic performances, installations to different workshops and initiatives for international cooperation. Offering ample opportunities to young practitioners, the festival supports the development of original theatre forms and encourages experimentation within the disciplines. 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 in front of an audience of around 40,000 people each year. Since 1996, part of the festival's programme also appears at Lent Festival in Maribor.

Ana Desetnica regularly engages in international networking and co-production projects at the European level, through its participation in the projects Circostrada, Eunetstar, and Meridians, whose combined member organisations represent over 30 countries, thus offering opportunities to Slovene practitioners to tour abroad and share their knowledge and expertise of the field.

Ana Destnica Festival has recently launched an award for outstanding achievements in street theatre, called urbANA ljubljANA in partnership with Mirabilia Circus & Performing Arts Festival.


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.
