Directed by Darina Kárová, the International Festival Divadelna Nitra is the largest theatre festival in Slovakia and one of the most important international activities in the cultural area in Slovakia. Organised since 1992, it's a selective, but non-competitive parade of the top European production focused on mainly the drama/play, susceptible to dance, music, puppet theatre and also the visual theatre. It selects the non-traditional, innovative and inspirational scenic theatre, informs about the new tendencies and about the new names of the artists.

Founded in 1967, Bitef has continually followed and supported the latest theatre trends, becoming thus one of the biggest and the most important European festivals. Transcending all political and cultural borders, in more than four decades Bitef has managed to keep its pace with a tumultuous evolution of performing arts.
