LJUD

Aliens are already flying to their favorite 2011 destination – the island of Sardinia – to join some of their human friends  for a celebration of the New Year.  The pink ones have a completely cyclical concept of time so they do not really understand the significance of the event, but they do like a good party and judging from past experience they will not be dissapointed.  Meanwhile you can check out some leaked documents regarding the so called “2011 tour” – all non-slovenian readers can call kud.ljud on skype for a simultaneous translation of the article

The time and space of the first post-summer Ljud’s Laboratory will become a continuum once again in the basement of the Modern gallery in Ljubljana, this Friday 11/11/2011 at 18:00!

We are announcing three main experiements:

- Catching free radicals in the body by submitting it to mild excercises in physical theater

- Examination of human reactions to direct contact with Pink Invaders (video only!) – with additional commentary by Ljud’s experts on Close encounters of the Pink Kind

- Synthesis of mulled vine and “in vivo” testing of results

We welcome everyone who still hasn’t lost faith in the science of interactive theater and its effects on the growth of “personallity cells”…

Entrance fee: 0,000467€.

Hope to see you there!

So it goes!

The INVASION for this year is over.

The Aliens invaded 23 cities in 17 countries. They caused chaos and havoc on the streets of Stockholm, Glasgow, Malmo, Amsterdam, Bergamo , Eke, Imatra, Fossano, Porsgrunn, Viladecans, Sassari, Maribor, Lienz, Jelenia Gora, Vordingborg, Amersfoort, Ourense, Yavne and many others.

They made old people cry in Seoul, they made the KGB worried in Minsk, they climbed the sacred monuments of WW2 in Arkhangelsk and almost got attacked by police dogs, and they made a random guy on a street in Berlin say: “I LOVE this city!”

They were photographed about a million times and as if this wasn’t enough they became the main characters of a comic book.

They PINKED the kids, their mothers, florists and garbage men alike, retired people, immigrants, even civil servants and especially innocent by-standers.  They spread amazement, excitement and the Pink virus all over this green-blue planet.

Not all of them survived this season unharmed. There were broken limbs and sprayed joints, thorns in their feet and bruises on their bodies. There were wild allegations and police inquiries, hospital maltreatments and lousy hotel rooms, but they managed to emerge even stronger, crazier and pinker than ever.

Some of them where even bought and taken home to continue their lives as alien pets! Everything goes when the Pink virus takes over…

They thank you all for being with them in those moments.

Now they will retreat to the vast coldness of outer space, not to rest, oh no, but to prepare for the next season of The INVASION…

… and until they return…

…may the Pink be with you!

Just in the last 12 days the pink aliens made 21 Invasions in 4 different countries… They are pretty tired but full of amazing impressions. However their mission for this season is far from over! In the next weeks you can catch up with them in Belgium, Sardinia, Slovenia or Spain…

 

This season (from May onwards) we are hosting three young volunteers who have joined the Ljud’s as  part of the European Voluntary Service (EVS).

We received the girls from Latvia, Denmark and Israel with great expectations which they have already begun to fulfill with their youthful enthusiasm and hard work …

We would like to take this opportunity to also thank :

MOVIT NA Mladina (Slovenian National Agency of Youth in Action)

‘This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication [communication] reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.’

There is something about the warm summer months that makes the pink immigrants (who have been exploring this planet for the last three years now) completely hyperactive!

Our top secret sources predict with 98% certainty that “the pinks” will be invading the following locations in the coming weeks and months:

Arkhangelsk International Street Festival (Russia) – 20. – 22.6.

PIT Festival (Porsgrunn, Norway) – 24. – 26.6.

International Street Theater Festival Villadecans (Spain) – 1. – 2.7.

With the pink virus spreading to so many different places there is no excuse not to meet your favorite extraterrestrials and get a bit “infected” this summer!

Also check out this “photo-animation” made from the thousands of pictures the Koreans took of the pink aliens during the Invasion of Seoul…

More info very soon!

Again we went to Belarus… and again we left another piece of our heart there…

Thanks to all the organizers and participants of That very festival and to all the people of Minsk who recieved us with open arms, minds and hearts!

These kinds of meetings  give our work meaning…

Next stop for the pink aliens:  South Korea!

Hi! Seoul Festival from 5th to 8th of May.

If you are in the neighborhood drop by to say hello!

ATTENTION!

America’s space agency, N.A.S.A, reports unusual fluctuations in electro-magnetic field in the atmosphere over European continent. Only LJUD agency has provided any explanation for this extraordinary phenomenon.

The season of The INVASIONS began!

Rumors have spread that expedition of pink aliens started to invade international festivals. LJUD confirmed those rumors, stating that the first INVASION happened on 15^th of April on “Magie al Borgo festival” in Bergamo near Milan and the second one on 22^nd of April on “That Very Festival” in Minsk, Belarus.

The aliens’ spaceship needed a repair after the first landing due to over-heating while entering the Earth’s atmosphere, so the Aliens traveled to Minsk and back with the generous help from the Slovenian company Comita.

The international company Kryolan provided the appropriate quantities of protective pink color and other make-up material for entire season of The INVASIONS.

LJUD will soon publish a (veeeeery long) list of all international festivals which are this year’s target of The INVASIONS.
