Prešeren Theatre Kranj is recognised, in Slovenia and beyond, for its thematically provocative, socially engaged and aesthetically exquisite productions. We are bound to these ambitions, or rather to the mission of theatre arts, by the mere fact that we are named after the greatest Slovenian poet – France Prešeren (1800 - 1849). Although we are a repertory theatre, we're not afraid of bold moves and innovation. Our repertoire focuses on the socio-politically engaged work of current contemporary playwrights (Slovenian and foreign), on a new interpretation of the classics, innovative staging of drama forms, the poetic language of theatre and selection of the most prominent theatrical creators and directors. We are also organisers of the ;Week of Slovenian Drama festival, in which the best performances from Slovenia and abroad are presented each year in March; performances which were created on the basis of Slovenian plays. And it is for this reason, of course, that we perform and, with drama workshops, also support contemporary Slovenian plays. Special attention is also given to quality performances for children and for adolescents. Prešeren Theatre Kranj and its individual members have received numerous awards in recent years, including awards at various theatre festivals in Slovenia, Croatia, Chech Republic, Poland, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and Bulgaria. The festivals in Argentina, Bolivia, Dominican Republic , India, Russia and USA were also unforgettable.
