The Mladi levi Festival (in English: Young Lions Festival) is an annual international festival of contemporary theatre and dance. Organised by the Bunker Institute, it presents original approaches to theatre and dance, focusing on talented and emerging stage performers, along with presenting already established progressive authors. It takes place every end of the summer and was initiated in 1998 under the auspices of the international network Junge Hunde.

The festival has a distinctive atmosphere, marked with creativity and vibrant spirit, and social nature. It is an interdisciplinary place of exchange and co-operations, extending beyond the habitual local or international concepts.

Festival journal

During some editions the festival journal Arena was published, covering the festival's performances. The contributions were mainly written by young writers in collaboration with the Maska Magazine. In 2010 it was available also on-line on the Sigledal.org - Slovene theatre portal. For the 2017 yet another outlet was created, a website portal for criticism called Kriterij.

Collaborations
