BITEF theater is "... is an avant-garde theatre situated within a picturesque interior of a restructured Evangelistic church in the centre of Belgrade. ... its aim has been to spread Bitef festival influence which is reflected in discovering new theatre trends in Serbia, and in providing space for the artists who break traditional forms of artistic expression."If you're concerned that a theater should not be on holy ground, this site goes on to say "The building of this edifice, financed and built by the German minority in Serbia, was started in 1940. The seal on a saved document remains as a sole evidence of the original purpose: it was meant to house a German Evangelist-Christian church. The process was brought to a standstill in 1942. As it was never either finished or sanctified, it has never acquired a status of a religious object."
BITEF stands for Belgrade International Theater Festival.
