SPIDER Festival is an annual contemporary dance and performance arts festival held outdoors in Ljubljana’s Tivoli Park. It focuses on avant-garde, unconventional dance theater celebrating queer, feminist, and experimental performances. Audiences are invited to experience cutting-edge dance, often at the historic Plečnik-designed open-air auditorium. Spider fosters dialogue and creative exploration in dance, offering workshops and performances that emphasize social issues and radical artistic expression.
Founded around 2010 by choreographer Matej Kejžar, SPIDER evolved from local dance workshops into an international festival. It highlights Ljubljana’s vibrant alternative arts scene and engages with global trends in performance. The festival is emblematic of Slovenia's openness to avant-garde art and inclusive culture.
