We founded Theater Líšeň as an independent, experimental theater.

We work with puppets, masks, objects, movement, and sound stylization.

For the general public and schools, we present our performances, workshops, and accompanying educational programs. We perform in Brno, throughout the country, and at international festivals.

We also focus on human rights and political themes. We have long-term collaborations with Romani dancers and musicians. We visit disadvantaged audiences in institutions and care facilities. We organize festivals. In our hometown, Brno-Líšeň, we contribute to the community development and have initiated the establishment of the association ‘Líšeň sobě’.

    We present engaged and documentary plays together with discussions in which we respond to current events and social and political events. The Provoking Theatre project is an expression of our human attitudes, it wants to inspire and stimulate activity towards freedom and justice.  In this year, we organize events with the support of the International Visegrad Fund.
