Summary/Abstract: Rdeče zore is a festival without a concept. Concepts are expensive. And spoiled – it's so difficult to please them! It is an unpretentious festival. A marginal one. Rdeče zore is the space, the possibility and the power to create the conditions worthy of us. Worthy of our imagination. The creativity, the work and the mingling of the participants of Rdeče zore – whether they take part in the festival as performers, visitors, organisers or even don’t distinguish these roles – question the boundaries we take for granted, boundaries that don’t distinguish between gender but between people. The festival presents movement, sound and image, but also stuff that is not so easy to describe in this way, but is nevertheless important in order to confront, meet and intercept the thought. The festival first took place in four Metelkova venues, opening its doors to the production of women working in Metelkova and inviting authors from the Balkan and Central European neighbourhood. The responses on the 2005 edition of the festival were both negative and positive – the festival received good reviews in the media and also encouragement from the visitors. There is certainly a need in Ljubljana for such a festival because it favours and encourages unrecognised and young participants.
