About street theatre

Theatre does not have to exist only in a closed space. When the theatre was created, there were no buildings, the theatre can and does exist without them. All that is really needed is an actor and an audience. Street theatre, is not just acrobats, jugglers, big puppets, stilt walkers and fire shows, street theatre combines a variety of forms - new circus, dance and drama. Deep emotions, bursts of energy, authenticity and a great deal of improvisation are what is required when performing on the street. We don't bind the audience with a pre-purchased numbered ticket, we allow them the freedom to come and go at any time.

"Street theatre is a "lifestyle" that we have been involved in for a long time, which is why every year we prepare the biggest street theatre festival Za Dveřmi, which takes place in Prague," notes the director of the festival Za Dveřmi, Jakub Vedral.

The street revelry, giant puppets, flocks of masks, allegorical chariots and performers are historically among the most successful celebrations.If you're looking to liven up your event, your festival, take inspiration from our website.
