Queer Zagreb

Queer Zagreb is a queer performing-arts programme, separate from Zagreb Pride. It's run by Domino, a Zagreb arts association. The focus is contemporary theatre, dance, hybrid performance and live art, with film screenings, talks and workshops alongside. Domino describes it as one of the longest continuously running queer performing-arts programmes in Europe.

It no longer runs as a single big annual festival. Under the name Queer Zagreb Sezona, Domino now puts on 30 to 40 public events a year in themed blocks, sometimes with a concentrated festival week in May. Tickets are usually under €10.

The last festival week we could confirm ran from 22 to 29 May 2025. It was built around Criminal Queer, a project with New York's National Queer Theater that stages plays by writers from countries where homosexuality is a crime. For 2026, Domino applied for city money for a programme marking 25 years of Queer Zagreb, but the City of Zagreb's published list shows the application was not funded. We couldn't confirm a 2026 festival week or any 2027 dates. Check thisisadominoproject.org for the current season.
