The company has been active since 2013, focusing on original productions, often with a semi-documentary approach. Its work engages with social and political themes, while keeping at its core the condition of the individual striving for a fulfilled life. The guiding principle is not to idealise or judge, but to open a space for dialogue in which all voices can be heard. Artistically, the company draws on the traditions of Jerzy Grotowski’s “poor theatre,” Eugenio Barba’s theatre anthropology, and the theatrical thinking of Peter Brook. Since 2023, the ensemble has collaborated with professional Ukrainian actresses who fled the war and found refuge in the Czech Republic. In April 2024, the company organised a theatre expedition to Ukraine for the Festival of Reciprocity, a series of Czech–Ukrainian theatre events held in Rivne, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Kyiv, and Ivano-Frankivsk. In 2025, the company’s leader and director David Zelinka created the production Absolutely Free at the National Academic Drama Theatre of Ivan Franko in Ivano-Frankivsk.
