Teatar &TD, part of Zagreb’s Student Centre, has been a hub for experimental and contemporary theatre since 1962, taking its current name in 19672. Housed in the former Italian Pavilion from 1937, it offers two distinctive stages: the larger main hall and the flexible Polukružna space. Known for embracing bold, unconventional works, it has hosted Croatian and international greats, from Eugène Ionesco to Dario Fo, and premiered the legendary Stilske vježbe, the world’s longest-running play with the same cast. Its programming champions emerging artists, interdisciplinary projects, and collaborations with independent troupes, making it a vital platform for fresh voices and avant-garde performance. With a legacy of risk-taking and innovation, Teatar &TD continues to challenge audiences and expand the boundaries of the stage.
