Theatre GUnaGU
An independent theatre on Františkánske Square known for original Slovak comedies and satire, many written for its own ensemble.
Why visit
GUnaGU is one of the longest-running independent theatres in Bratislava. Since the 1980s it has built its repertoire on original Slovak plays, often written for its own actors.
Its style is quick, humorous and close to everyday life, with satire on Slovak society never far away. Plays such as Modelky and English Is Easy, Csaba Is Dead made the company’s name.
What to see
- Original Slovak plays: comedies and satirical pieces, many by the playwright Viliam Klimáček.
- An intimate hall: a small auditorium where the audience sits close to the actors.
- Guest performances: productions by other independent companies and festival shows appear in the programme alongside the house repertoire.
