The theatre was founded on 1 April 1991 under the name Korzo '90 Theatre (Divadlo Korzo '90) by actors Ľubomír Gregor and Zita Furková. [2] [3] Named and styled after the short-lived Divadlo na korze (1968–71), which was shuttered after Normalization, [4] Korzo '90 launched its first theatrical season in September 1991, which included the first staging of a play by former Czechoslovak president and playwright Václav Havel after the Velvet Revolution, The Memorandum , directed by Vladimír Strnisko. [5] In 1992, Juraj Nvota became the theatre's staff director. In 1993, the establishment's name was changed to Astorka Korzo '90 Theatre, in honour of the former Astória café, which had been located in the theatre's original location on Suchý mýto 17 from 1817 to 1945, and was one of the centres of cultural life in Bratislava at the beginning of the 20th century.
