Exit Theatre

The theatre was founded on 23 September 1994^[2] by Matko Raguž and Nataša Lušetić^[3] and is currently located in Ilica 208, the location they hold since 1998 by adapting an old cinema.^[1][4] The theater's original productions explore significant societal topics and are characterized as being rooted in a "process-oriented collaboration among all participants." The theater perceives itself as a shared workshop, where every contributor holds equal authorship.^[5][3] The theatre had a major impact on the Croatian theatre scene during the nineties, but subsequently entered financial troubles, after which it began staging productions for children, producing successful dramatisations of Adrian Mole.^[6]

The theatre was received exceptionally well^[4] and it and its plays have earned numerous awards including the City of Zagreb award twice.^[1] Some plays, such as Kauboji have been performed 500 times.^[7]
