About

Astorka Korzo ’90 Theatre is a renowned cultural venue in Bratislava, known for its bold dramaturgy and connection to Slovak theatrical heritage. Founded in 1991 by actors Ľubomír Gregor and Zita Furková, it pays homage to the short-lived Divadlo na korze (1968–71) and the historic Astória café, once a hub of Bratislava’s cultural life. Located at Slovak National Uprising Square, the theatre occupies the former Pohraničník cinema and continues the tradition of staging modern world classics and original Slovak productions. Its repertoire includes thought-provoking dramas, comedies, and adaptations of literary works, often featuring prominent Slovak actors and directors. Astorka is celebrated for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to artistic freedom, making it a vital space for cultural dialogue and creative expression. With a legacy rooted in resilience and innovation, the theatre remains a dynamic force in Bratislava’s performing arts scene.
