Moving Station

A theatre you enter into when you step off the train

Moving Station is the only venue for independent theatre, dance, and interdisciplinary experiments in Pilsen. It all began in 2000 when artists occupied the dilapidated station building. Since then Moving Station has hosted artists from all over the world. The reconstruction of the building in 2015 gave rise to an opportunity for support of artists residencies and development of new forms of dialogue between artists and audiences.

The Moving Station programme is centred on presentation of experimental, engaging, and original theatre and contemporary dance by Czech and foreign groups. We produce our own theatre plays, organise the Nastevřeno new theatre and performance festival, and co-organise Tanec Praha and Divadlo International Theatre Festival.

Visual arts, animation, and film are also part of our programme. We run a cafe. Every year we organise regional showcases of amateur theatre productions. In addition, Moving Station runs the Dramacentrum Johan, a platform for projects focused on education in arts and theatre.
