international festival of youth devise theater / RESISTANCE! - Youth Festival of Modern European History
Festival Resistance is coming to Ljubljana!
From 5th to 7th of November, Glej Theatre will host young artists from Slovenia, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, France, Italy and Portugal, who will bring stories from the past to life on stage as part of the European project Resistance: the Youth Festival of Modern European History. Through original performances, the young artists explore key events that shaped the 20th century in their countries and their consequences that continue to shape our communities today.
Each day of the festival will bring a new dose of resistance. Each country will present a unique production twice during the festival, and the programme will be rounded off by debates with the audience.
After the performances in each partner country, Slovenia will be their last stop. Resistance is not just a collection of theatre performances, but a space where the past comes alive and intertwines with the perspectives of a new generation. The festival offers young artists the opportunity to inspire reflection on the future of Europe through art and dialogue, and to show how history can be a force for change today.

About the project Resistance
Resistance! Youth festival of Modern European History is an international project bringing together young people from six countries: the Czech Republic, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Slovenia. In most Member States of the European Union, the teaching of history in the formal education system is predominantly focused on national, if not patriotic, historical narratives. The result of this approach is that young people lack knowledge of the broader, transnational and common European history.
Resistance aims to foster a common culture of remembrance, mutual understanding and intercultural dialogue among young people from the six EU countries by commemorating important historical turning points and political changes in the 20th Century. The theme on which the young people from Slovenia are focusing is the break-up of Yugoslavia.
