Overview
Naked Stage (Slovenian: Goli oder) is an international festival of improvisational theatre held in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Founded by the prominent Slovenian improv collective Narobov and produced by Zavod Federacija, the festival puts improvisation at its center while ranging across theatre, clown, dance-improv, and music. It pairs Slovenian artists with invited international performers and collectives, alongside a workshop program for improvisers. The 17th edition ran in October 2024, drawing artists from Australia, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany, the United States, and Slovenia.
The 2026 festival runs October 21-25 at the Stara mestna elektrarna (Old Power Station) on Slomškova ulica in central Ljubljana. Its curated program features work such as the Austrian duo Anne Rab and Gerit Scholz's (Im)percepcija, Polish improviser Katarzyna Chmara's solo format Trenutek (Moment), a clown improv take on Romeo and Juliet, and youth improv from the nationwide ŠILA school league, with performances staged in both Slovenian and English. It is co-produced with Društvo Impro and co-organized with Zavod Bunker, IGLU (Improvizacijsko gledališče Ljubljana), and Narobov.
Workshops
Alongside its performances, the festival offers workshops and classes led by visiting artists, giving improvisers a chance to explore new approaches to improvisation with international teachers.
