Divadelní festival Kutná Hora

International theatre festival in Kutná Hora

DFKH has gradually evolved from a raw showcase of innovative alternative domestic ensembles to a major event with an international dimension. From the very beginning, the aim of the festival has been to present contemporary original theatre with a focus on current texts or original projects reflecting today’s pressing social situations. The main programme consists of selected new productions of the Czech independent scene f, as well as a presentation of the European scene. Each year the festival brings to the public productions mainly from Central and Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. An integral part of the festival in recent years has been the Y Events series, which straddles the boundaries of visual and performing arts. For example, the curators of Y Events have addressed the theme of parenthood through the creation of a prototype parent friendly zone or, a year later, the theme of “gossiping”, which they presented from a gender and mythological perspective.
