Poton Theatre was founded in 2000 as originally an amateur theatre ensemble (2000 – 2003) and in 2003 was transformed into an independent professional group. During the first active years the group worked in a town Levice.  After several years, the creative team decided to reside in the Slovak countryside. Since 2009, Poton Theatre operates in small village Bátovce – on a periphery. It is the only professional theatre in Slovakia located in countryside 160km far from capital of Slovakia – Bratislava.
