{{Teaser|
Established in [[established::2001]] by Colombian theatre practitioner Gabriel E. Hernandez and Slovene actress [[Barbara Pia Janič]], [[Senzorium Institute for Sensorial Theatre and Research]] is a pioneering institution for sensorial theatre and research. Led by Barbara Pia Janič since 2006, Senzorium's productions highlight the economy of the senses and experience in contemporary society and are known for employing interactive performance formats. Senzorium collaborates with actors, painters, sculptors, architects, writers, and designers, and organises various workshops for all age groups which deal with sensory language, creating characters, and inhabiting time and space.

== Recent production==

The 2008 event ''City of Sighs'' [Mesto vzdihljajev], evoking Slovenian national archetypal figures and featuring some legends of Slovene music ([[Laibach]], [[Siddharta]], [[Pepel in kri]], [[Avsenik Ensemble]], etc.), took place in different locations at the [[Ljubljana Castle]], while the 2009 performance ''In Vino Veritas'' took the visitors on a journey of processing grapes into wine, helping them in a Dionysian manner to uncover the truth about themselves in wine and wine in themselves. The performance was part of an exhibition at the [[Slovene Ethnographic Museum]], which was also the co-producer of the performance along with [[B-51 Cultural Society]].

In 2010, Jenič directed a multimedia event, a bow to spiritual affinity, the power of love, and faithfulness among friends, ''An Evening with [[Mila Kačič]]'' [Večer z Milo Kačič] ([[Mila Kačič]] - the late Slovene actress and singer), which included the actresses [[Ivanka Mežan]], [[Štefka Drolc]], and [[Iva Zupančič]], and other singers, dancers, and interpreters. The event was co-produced with [[Slovene National Theatre Drama Ljubljana]] in partnership with [[Festival Ljubljana Public Institute]].
