The story

Marulic Days in Split

Marulicevi dani, established in 1991 to mark the 490th anniversary of Marko Marulic's Judita, is an annual festival of new Croatian drama staged at the Croatian National Theatre in Split, drawing submitted plays from across the wider region each spring. It shares a home venue with the broader Splitsko ljeto festival but keeps a distinct dramaturgical focus.

Marulicevi dani, or Marulic Days, was established in 1991 to mark the 490th anniversary of the publication of Judita, an epic poem by fifteenth and sixteenth-century writer Marko Marulic, widely regarded as the founding work of Croatian-language literature.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival exists specifically to review new Croatian-language dramatic writing each year, selecting from dozens of plays submitted not only from Croatia but from across the wider Balkan region and Croatian-diaspora communities, functioning as an annual professional survey of the national drama scene rather than a general theatre showcase

02

The mystery stays covered

A single invited dramaturge curates the full programme each year, giving the selection process a consistent critical viewpoint rather than a rotating committee decision
