The Croatian Theatre in Pécs is a reminder that the city has never been culturally one-note. Pécs sits close to Croatia and has long had South Slavic communities, and this small theatre keeps that borderland identity visible through performances, festivals and cultural programming.
You do not need fluent Croatian to value the place. Even if you only check the building and programme, it adds texture to a city better known for Roman tombs, Ottoman mosques and Zsolnay ceramics. When a suitable performance is on, it is one of the more local ways to spend an evening in Pécs.
