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’.
