The Urban Festival is a multimedia project comprising street theatre,

that tries to communicate actively with the urban population.
CONCEPT
We offer artists the complete use of the urban infrastructure: streets, squares,
buildings, municipal and traffic network, etc. Performances and installations
are chosen which enable an urban viewer to act individually, according to one’s
own artistic and living experience.
By doing this, we aim to draw awareness to
the issues of urban and citizen’s environment. The Festival will draw together
many eminent performance artists from different countries, who are trying to
change the urban landscape and human behaviour patterns in it. During the
festival week the city structure will acquire a new dimension - a city upon a
city.
REALISATION
The Urban Festival project consists of a presentation of ready-prepared
performing and visual art projects, and a series of art workshops to gather a
number of artists who will create during several meetings works that will refer
to various city structure issues. The workshops will last for a week, with the
culmination of the work being presented at the festival.
Artists and groups that will take part in the festival are: Orchestra Stolpnik
(Italy), Motherboard (Norway), Skart (Yugoslavia), Otmar Wagner (Germany),
Showcase Beat Le Mot (Germany), Matjaz Faric - The Fleet - Psycho-Path
(Slovenia), Aleksandra Schuller and Gregor Kamnikar (Slovenia), Damir Bartol
Indos - Helge Hinteregger - Damir Prica Kafka (Croatia, Austria), Tomislav
