Regional theater productions in the Balkans

Overview

Regional theater productions are scheduled across various locations, covering diverse themes ranging from children’s stories to historical drama and modern social issues. In Kosovo and Serbia, the National Theater of Pristina is set to perform ‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the Gračanica Culture Center on September 8. This production, directed by Igor Damnjanović, is a co-production with the Faculty of Arts in Pristina. Meanwhile, the Belgrade Drama Theatre has scheduled performances of ‘Our Parents’ for early September. Directed by Patrik Lazić, the play is the second part of a trilogy and explores parenthood and loneliness through the stories of three couples on a cruise. In Montenegro, the Nikšić Theatre is hosting ‘Jelena Anžujska,’ a production directed by Tatjana Mandić Rigonat that provides a poetic portrayal of the medieval Serbian queen and ruler of the Zeta region. Looking toward the upcoming season, the Nikšić Theatre is also preparing a production of ‘The Master and Margarita,’ based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel. Directed by Gorčin Stojanović and dramatized by Stevan Koprivica, the project aims for a contemporary reading of the classic work, with a premiere expected in mid-October. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the National Theatre Sarajevo is launching its 2026/2027 artistic season with ‘Gogolj iz pepela’ (Gogol from the Ashes). Directed by Petar Pejaković, the play is inspired by Nikolai Gogol’s ‘Dead Souls’ and incorporates ensemble stories regarding loss and political manipulation, with a premiere scheduled for September 14. In Croatia, the Gandusio Theatre in Rovinj featured the monodrama ‘Prima Facie,’ directed by Anja Maksić Japundžić, which examines themes of consent and sexual assault. Further developments include ‘Čvor’ by Kolektiv Igralke and director Žiga Divjak, exploring the socio-economic transition of Rijeka.
