Description
Atelje 212 is a theater building in Belgrade located at the corner of Vlajkoviceva and Svetogorska streets. The building contains a main stage seating around 385 people and a basement stage with roughly 140 seats.
History
The theater was founded in 1956 and made history that same year as the first Eastern European theater to stage Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'. In the decades that followed, it shaped the region's theater by introducing works from major European writers.
Culture
The theater is shaped by a permanent ensemble that stages contemporary Serbian and international works. This mix of local and foreign pieces reflects its role as a bridge between different theatrical cultures.
Practical
The venue has two separate performance spaces, each with its own character and layout. Visitors should know that the different stages offer varying distances between performers and audience, creating different kinds of theater experiences.

The theater played a key role in introducing cutting-edge French and British dramatists to Eastern Europe at a time when such works were still controversial elsewhere. Writers like Sartre, Ionesco, and Pinter were presented to audiences here for the first time.
