Glej Theatre

About

Founded in 1970, Glej Theatre (Gledališče Glej) is Slovenia’s oldest independent theatre and a cornerstone of Ljubljana’s alternative arts scene. Located in the city’s Old Town, Glej began as an experimental venue, offering a platform for avant-garde productions and emerging artists. Over the decades, it has evolved into a dynamic space for devised theatre, contemporary drama, puppetry, and dance. Known for its intimate black box setting and bold programming, Glej fosters innovation and collaboration, often partnering with international institutions and hosting performances that challenge conventional narratives. It remains a vital incubator for new voices in Slovenian and European theatre.
