About the company

Choreographer Kristýna Lhotáková and director/sound designer Ladislav Soukup focus on esthetics of documentary theatre. They work with non-dancers, "real people" as inspiration, people whom usually also personally appear on stage. Over the course of the last 10 years of working together and the last 5 years of making theatre they have developed a specific dance/theatre esthetics, that thrives to catch what is essentially Czech... while staying authentic and different.
