MINI TEATER was founded in 1999 by Robert Waltl and Ivica Buljan with the purpose to enhance creativity in post drama theatre and in the theatre for the young. MINI TEATER is aesthetically directed to texts written by authors like:
Bernard-Marie Koltès, Heiner Mueller, Robert Walser, Elfriede Jelinek, Jean Genet, Hervé Guibert, Arthur Rimbaud, A. S. Pushkin, H. Ch. Andersen. Priority is given to research directing aesthetics with directors like I. Buljan, A. Anurov, P. Calvario, S. Nordey, R. Waltl, J. Ivanc... Exceptional actors (M. Zupančič, M. Mandić, V. Drolc, A. Karić, S. Bulić, P. Vetrih, J. Souček...), great visual artists (V. Fiškin, S. Tolj, B. Cain, T. Gverović, SON:da, T. Gotovac, M. Jakše...), prominent musicians (Mitja Vrhovnik Smrekar, The Beat Fleet, Jose, Ditka Haberl, Dunja Vejzović, Tamara Obrovac...) are engaged to work with MINI TEATER.
The programme for the young dedicates special attention to innovative educational projects. The co-production »Thumbelina« - created by the director Robert Waltl in co-operation with Tadej Fius and Darij Kreuh - is the first virtual puppet performance in the world.
MINI TEATER performs yearly about five hundred performances in Ljubljana, across Slovenia and abroad, as well as in numerous international festivals (in ten years we had 180 performances on tour on all continents). Taking part in prestigious festivals in Moscow, Naples, Havana, Warsaw, Vienna, Brussels, Sarajevo, Belgrade, Cairo, Teheran..., we assert our interest in international co-operation, while with Croatian institutions like Novo Kazalište Zagreb, ARL Dubrovnik, ZeKaeM- Zagrebško gledališče mladih, Zadar Snova, Teatar ITD, HNK Rijeka, we create a privileged partnership.
MINI TEATER has won a number of awards and recognitions for its theatrical achievements in Slovenia and abroad.
Mini Summer for Children is a festival offering the youngest audience the best puppet and chamber performances on tour coming from all over the world.
Through its paradox goal – to be an elite theatre yet also populist, eccentric and attractive to a wide audience – MINI TEATER breaks the traditional boundaries of the theatre affirming them merely in the way of thinking. In the new premises of our theatre in Križevniška 1 in Ljubljana, MINI TEATER will follow the »concept of an enlarged theatre« offering a series of novel readings (performed by the best Slovene actors), concerts, and artistic actions.
