Komigo — Trilingual Comedy Theatre Festival

Laughter that speaks three languages

Komigo is the comedy theatre festival of the Kulturni dom in Gorizia, a review that makes linguistic plurality its distinctive feature. The shows, in fact, follow one another in Italian, Slovenian, and Friulian: an almost unique case in the Italian theatre scene, which perfectly reflects the multicultural soul of Gorizia, a border city where the three languages have coexisted for centuries. Comedy thus becomes a bridge capable of uniting different audiences and traditions.

A long season of comedies

Komigo's formula is that of a season spread over many months, from spring until December, with about fifteen shows ranging from brilliant comedy to popular theatre, from farce to cabaret. Italian and Slovenian companies, established comedians, and quality amateur groups alternate on the Kulturni dom stage, in a programme designed to make people laugh and reflect on everyday and universal themes.

The Kulturni dom, heart of Slovenian culture in Gorizia

The historic home of the Slovenian community in Gorizia, the Kulturni dom is one of the city's main cultural centres. By hosting Komigo, it confirms its vocation as a meeting place between the cultures of the territory. Over the years, the festival has become an eagerly awaited event, capable of building a loyal audience that rediscovers the pleasure of a theatre evening filled with smiles every season.

Gorizia, theatre on the border

Komigo tells the story of a Gorizia that makes the coexistence of Italians, Slovenians, and Friulians not a problem but a richness. Attending a festival performance means entering the heart of this plural identity, letting yourself be captivated by the communicative power of comedy, beyond linguistic barriers.
