KAROL SPIŠÁK’S OLD THEATRE IN NITRA, SLOVAK REPUBLIC
Karol Spišák’s Old Theatre in Nitra has been active on the Slovak stage in the field of puppet and children’s theatre for more than 70 years. During its extensive history, many Slovak and foreign artists have worked there, and its productions have been awarded many times. Currently, the dramaturgy of the theatre focuses mainly on contemporary and little-known titles intended for children, as well as family productions. The theatre seeks new incentives and contributes to the discovery of different cultures and to the creation of international links. It not only participates in festivals in Slovakia but has in previous seasons travelled to festivals in Poland, Serbia, and the Czech Republic. The theatre also creates educational programmes for children and adults in the form of dramaturgical introductions, workshops, and discussions.
