Divadlo Sklep, Cultural theatre in Braník, Czech Republic.
Divadlo Sklep is a theatre building in the Braník district of Prague that operates performances across two venues. The theatres present various productions designed for diverse audiences throughout their regular programming.
The building was designed by architect Zdeněk Vávra in 1961 as a new cultural space. During the 1980s, the theatre became known for hosting motion theatre and avant-garde artistic experiments.
The theatre became a meeting place where experimental theatre groups and folk singers presented alternative forms of entertainment to audiences seeking something different. Visitors could experience unconventional performances that reflected local artistic tastes and the spirit of the time.
The theatre holds performances from Monday through Thursday, with the box office opening about thirty minutes before each show. Planning your visit in advance allows you to find a show that fits your schedule.
Professional and semi-professional pantomime and motion theatre companies discovered a creative home within these walls and developed strong artistic communities. This focus on physical expression made the space an unusual laboratory for exploring this particular form of art.
