Plavo Theatre is a theatre laboratory founded by actor and director Nenad Čolić in 1995 in Belgrade, Serbia. Its name means Blue Theatre which corresponds to Plavo pozoriste in Serbian language.

The ideology of Plavo Theatre is based on principles established by reformers of XX century theatre – Constantin Stanislavsky, Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret, as well as Italian director Massimo Giannetti. Theatre which exists with the idea to serve theatre, not to be its servant, theatre which explores deeper levels of human communication, theatre which has the idea of moving boundaries of human perception, theatre which lives the utopia of reconciliation of anthropology and society, and theatre which presents a critical attitude – these are our basic premises. We are a group of people who, cherishing a seed of anarchism in ourselves, use theatre as the place which has credibility and in which some serious things about the world that surrounds us could be said.

Performances: Sonnet Without a Title (1995), The Magnificent Odyssey (1997), The Incredible Duel (1998), It Was the Souls' Wondrous Mine (1999), Oscar Wilde and the Inconstant Prince (2000), Hypertrophy of Authority or the Man who Darkened the Sun (2001), Sarcasticus or Birth of the Virus (2002), Fantastic Gospel According to Virginia (2003), Dialectics of Soul - Study of Freedom (2004), I Sing Like a Bird (2006), The Wizard or Harmonic Cacophony (2007), Dancing with Father (2008), Pagan Phantasma or the Secret of Betrayal (2011), Concert of Decadence (2011).
