Small Arts Platform
The Small Arts Platform once again invites the public into an array of subversive spectacles. In its eight years of existence, the Small Arts Platform has established itself as a festival that highlights the emerging and current, but scattered and less visible non-institutional production of hybrid stage practices and questions the weight of the genres such as cabaret, queer burlesque, stand-up, clowning and improvisational theatre. Every year the festival brings together Slovenian and foreign groups of artists and producers whose works are often labelled as "small" due to their titillating content, social commentary, provocation and appropriation of pop culture in the theatrical context. Although these stage performances are imbued with humour, they provoke laughter that often sticks in the throat as the audience is confronted with a harsh critique of the social situation during the hedonistic enjoyment of the stage performances.
