The TMEL collective, formed at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague in 2021, brings together students from various disciplines, including scenography, directing, and acting. Their work emphasizes symbolism, material, sound, and freedom. TMEL creates unconventional puppet productions that offer a fresh perspective on human imagination. The collective is in residence at Dejvické Theatre in Prague and participates annually in theatre festivals, where it presents its productions and leads workshops.
Currently, TMEL stages its original productions O jako Otesánek (O as - little - Otik), Neboj, Houbo (Don’t worry, Mushroom), and Pelech (Lair), as well as projects by Berta Doubková such as Vyrobím díru, abych z ní mohla čouhat (I will make a hole so I can stick out of it), and the Christmas production Jizerské zázraky (Miracles of Jizerské mountains) by two members of TMEL, Jakub Müller and Marie Machová. Other members of the collective include Nikolas Ferenc, Jan Froněk, Viktor Prokop, and Antonie Rašilovová.
