Park Theatre, formerly Park Cinema, is a theatre located next to Murska Sobota’s town park. The modernist single-storey building was designed by architect Franc Novak and built in 1951. The venue first functioned as a cinema, but was forced out of business due to arrival of the town’s multiplex cinema in the early 21st century. During renovations, Park Cinema was redesigned as a theatre and now hosts diverse cultural events. Location: Murska Sobota

An outsider hip-hop duo from the streets of Ljubljana, PTČ represents the younger generation of local rappers and beatsmiths influenced by contemporary trailblazers, such as JPEG Mafia, Earl Sweatshirt and Denzel Curry. Their productions vary from pseudo-club bangers to abstract percussive beats, which constantly border on the experimental, but it’s their cryptic and abstract lyrics and moody flow in the Ljubljana slang that make them stand out among their peers. Enigmatic urban tales.
