Mikroszínpad

Mikroszínpad is a theatre building in Budapest that seats around 180 people and is located at Nagymező Street 22-24. It presents contemporary and experimental productions in a minimalist setting.

The theatre was founded in October 1967 by János Komlós and quickly became known for political satire and cabaret performances. During the Kádár era, it served as a venue for critical artistic expression.

The name translates to 'Small Stage,' and visitors experience the intimacy that comes with watching performances in such a compact space. Actors and audience share the same room closely, creating a direct connection that larger venues cannot offer.

The venue is easily accessible by public transport and sits in a neighbourhood with many other cultural venues and restaurants nearby. Visitors should expect tight spaces, which creates an authentic and intimate experience.

The building was constructed in the 1910s by Lujza Wabitsch and originally housed the Dorsay Perfume Factory before becoming Budapest's smallest theatre. This unexpected transformation from an industrial site to a cultural space tells the changing story of the neighbourhood.
