LJUD is an international collective of performers, directors, visual artists and activists. Their main goal is
to explore the possibilities of artistic expression in public space and new theatrical forms based on
interaction rather than presentation. They believe in art that is in direct contact with the present times,
and which establishes theatre performance as a game, a ritual and a social event.
In 2008 an expedition of pink alien immigrants landed on earth as part of LJUD's ongoing interactive
theatre project “The INVASION”. Since then they have visited more than 70 cities in 30 countries
across the planet. The development of our largest project to date was supported by the IN SITU
network and the La Strada festival of Graz.
In 2010 they created “The Streetwalker open-air ready-made gallery” which is expanding the concept
of ready-made art by imagining everyday elements of the city as works of art while collaborating with
local artists and residents. The project was internationally premiered on the renowned Chalon dans la
Rue festival.
LJUD has produced a silent movie (“The Southern Island”, 2007) and a live radio play (“The death of
the bakers daughter”, 2008) in co- production with the Slovenian National Radio. In the last years the
group has also been experimenting with many different forms of public space interventions, flash-mobs
and site specific actions; travelling around Europe and collaborating with various local collectives,
musicians, visual artists, dancers, puppeteers etc.
On a weekly basis they run an experimental educational program in Ljubljana – “Ljud’s Laboratory” they are as well leaders of a European project for new artistic mobility called H.O.M.E. – Houses for
Open Mobility Exchange. Their activities are co-financed by the European Commission – Directorate
of Culture, the IN SITU network for art in public space, the Slovenian Ministry of Culture, the
Municipality of Ljubljana and others.
