Žilina St. John's Night

The international street theatre festival (established in 2005). Its main idea is to return the theatre back on the street, free it from stone premises of stable scenes and transfer it right among the people to public outdoor spaces, under the sky and theatre marquees. It helps to transform traditional productions created in “stone” theatres in order to be played in the form of street presentation. Annually, there are international street theatre ensembles appearing at the festival. As a part of the festival, there are night fire performances, stilt theatres, children programmes and creative theatre workshops.
