What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Purgatorije stands apart because the Cultural Center of Tivat does not simply host outside productions but produces most of the plays itself, drawing material directly from legends and true stories rooted in Boka Bay life rather than staging generic or imported repertoire

02

The mystery stays covered

That local grounding gives the festival's theatre program a distinct sense of place, turning regional folklore and history into original stage work performed for the community it comes from

03

The city starts moving

Running from mid-June to late August, Purgatorije stretches across most of the summer rather than compressing into a single week, allowing space for guest troupes, literary evenings and art exhibitions alongside the Center's own productions

04

The water draws everyone in

Staged primarily at the Tivat summer stage in the Bocce summer house, the festival stands as the town's most important annual cultural event
