NE-FESTIVAL 2025 / NON-FESTIVAL 2025 

27. – 31. 8. 2025

Mažijev Grič pri Gradiškem jezeru

13. Non-Festival of Theatre of the Oppressed: Caravane edition

Where do we go?

When your feet are stuck in the mud, your thoughts in chaos, and the social compass shattered, you need a space where you can breathe again. Where the question isn’t whether, but with whom and how to move forward.

This August, we gather at Mažijev Grič near Gradiško Lake – not a backdrop, but a living space. A place where different ways of living together are being tested. Where community is not talked about, but practiced. Where being right matters less than knowing how to listen. This is where we’ll co-create the 13th edition of the Non-Festival of the Theatre of the Oppressed.

We’re gathering a caravan of activists, theatre-makers, environmentalists, and neighbors. For a few days, we’ll live together, work, eat, argue, learn, and ask questions we can no longer push aside.

Together with organizers KUD Transformator, Zavod Bob, and the international Caravane project, we’re building a space where something can happen—not because of a program, but because of relationships, risk, and shared labor.

This year’s focus:

Climate justice in practice. Not as an idea, but as friction—between bodies, perspectives, and lived realities. As questions we feel in our bones and know we can’t answer alone.

Public program:

Thursday through Sunday – performances, conversations, uncomfortable questions, active listening. No curtain calls. Just moments that shift something inside.

Check the schedule [here].

What’s happening:

  • Daily workshops

    THEATRE INTERVENTIONS IN PUBLIC SPACE (AESTHETICS OF THE OPPRESSED, INVISIBLE THEATRE, DIRECT ACTIONS) using various techniques of the Theatre of The Oppressed, where we will prepare theatrical interventions in public space, which we will test during the festival and in post-Non-festival actions

  • Forum Theatre labs

    workshop, where we will analyze the viewed forum performances (therefore, attendance at the evening forum performances is mandatory for participants)

  • OPEN SPACE KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE SHARING

    where we will facilitate space and time for self-organization around content that stems from the richness of the community present there and then

  • Assemblies + action

    community practice, solidarity action with a local farmer

  • Public events

    forum plays, performances, concert

  • Vegan meals

    cooked fresh on-site, three times daily

13. Ne-festival Gledališča zatiranih: Caravane edition

Kam gremo?

Ko so noge v blatu, misli v kaosu in družbeni kompas razbit, potrebujemo prostor, kjer lahko zadihamo. Kjer se ne sprašujemo ali, ampak s kom in kako naprej.

Letos avgusta se srečamo na Mažijevem Griču pri Gradiškem jezeru – na prostoru, kjer se išče drugačno sobivanje. Kjer se gradi skupnost skozi prakso, kjer ni pomembno, kdo ima prav, ampak kdo posluša. Tam bomo soustvarili 13. izdajo Ne-festivala Gledališča zatiranih.

Zbiramo karavano aktivistk, gledališčnic, okoljevarstvenikov in sosed – za nekaj dni bomo skupaj živeli, se učili, se spraševali, delali, jedli, se prepirali in postavljali vprašanja, ki jih ni več mogoče potisniti stran.

Skupaj z organizatorji KUD Transformator in Zavodom Bob ter mednarodnim projektom Caravane gradimo prostor, kjer se lahko nekaj zgodi – ne zaradi programa, ampak zaradi odnosov, tveganj in skupnega dela.

Tema:

Podnebna pravičnost v praksi. Ne kot ideja, ampak kot trenje, ki se zgodi med telesi, pogledi, praksami. Kot vprašanja, ki jih začutimo – in jih ne moremo rešit sami.

Javni dogodki:

Četrtek, petek, sobota, nedelja – predstave, pogovori, neprijetna vprašanja, aktivno poslušanje, ki se ne končajo z aplavzom ampak tam, kjer začnemo razmišljati drugače.

Preverite urnik [tukaj].

  • Vsakodnevne delavnice

    GLEDALIŠKE INTERVENCIJE V JAVNEM PROSTORU (ESTETIKA ZATIRANIH, NEVIDNO GLEDALIŠČE, DIREKTNE AKCIJE) z uporabo raznolikih tehnik gledališča zatiranih, na kateri bomo pripravili gledališke posege v javni prostor, ki jih bomo preizkušale že tekom festivala ter v po-Ne-festivalskih akcijah

  • Laboratoriji forumskega gledališča

    na kateri bomo analizirali ogledane forumske predstave, zato je za udeležence je obvezna udeležba na večernih forumskih predstavah
