PLAVO Theatre 

PLAVO Theatre is a theatrical laboratory funded in 1995 in Belgrade, which ideology is based on principles established by reformers of XX century theatre – Constantin Stanislavsky, Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret, as well as Italian director Massimo Giannetti. Theatre which exists with the idea to serve theatre, not to be its servant, theatre which explores deeper levels of human communication, theatre which has the idea of moving boundaries of human perception, theatre which lives the utopia of reconciliation of anthropology and society, and theatre which presents a critical attitude – these are the basic premises of our theatre. We are a group of people who, cherishing a seed of anarchism in ourselves, use theatre as the place which has credibility and in which some serious things about the world that surrounds us could be said.

PLAVO Theatre was founded in 1995 in Belgrade. So far it realized 29 theatrical productions

presented in many festivals in Serbia and abroad, over 300 educational projects for the youth,

organized 8 international festivals and established cooperation with numerous partners in Serbia and internationally. In 2021 PLAVO Theatre moved to a new theatrical space in the center of Belgrade.

Activities of PLAVO Theatre include:

• Creation of theatre performances based on laboratory methodology and their presentation across Serbia and Europe;

A special emphasis is put on work with the youth, with the aim of opening their horizons to a new prospective of arts and culture, as well as the use of the possibilities of laboratory theatre in civil society;
