Scénická žatva (Scenic Harvest) stands as the paramount national festival with international participation and holds the distinction of being the oldest non-professional theatre festival in Europe. Its main programme showcases the winners from the annual multi-stage theatre competitions throughout Slovakia, complemented by selected winners from single-stage Slovak theatre festivals. The festival’s vibrant off-programme welcomes invited foreign performances from across the globe in the international section, alongside diverse multi-genre artistic performances from Slovakia. Each August, Martin becomes the meeting point for theatre non-professionals eager to witness the year’s finest productions, engage in the program, or expand their knowledge in the creative theatre workshops.
