A Historic House in Serbia's Capital Hangs on with Intimate Theatrical Productions
Takovska17, a protected 1894 mansion turned theatre, hosts small audiences with early 20th-century plays, preserving Belgrade’s cultural heritage amid widespread demolitions.
- Takovska17 has operated as a theatre since 1894 in central Belgrade, located across from Serbian public broadcaster RTS on a busy thoroughfare.
- Built-In protections explain its survival: the house at 17 Takovska Street is a protected heritage site, and Tamara Masic, architect and troupe member, said it really is like a museum.
- Step indoors and the early twentieth century atmosphere appears, with wooden floorboards showing deep marks from more than a century of use and faded decorations preserving period character.
- Opposite the Serbian public broadcaster RTS headquarters, the house has become a character in local productions while investors elsewhere replace houses with multistorey buildings.
- Several local troupes stage work there, with audiences of just a few, and the theatre's web page `refuses to go`.
