Divadlo Sklep

Czech Experimental Theater Troupe

Divadlo Sklep is a Czech theater group known for its unique blend of comedy, music, and drama. The ensemble was established in the 1970s by a group of actors who were then recent graduates of the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU). Over the years, Divadlo Sklep has become renowned for its satirical take on social and political issues, often incorporating live music into their performances. While primarily focused on theater, they have also ventured into the realm of audio recordings, producing a series of albums titled "Naposlech" which feature a collection of songs and sketches from their theatrical productions. These albums serve as a testament to their creative versatility and their ability to engage audiences both on stage and through recorded media. The group's influence on Czech culture is significant, having contributed to the development of contemporary Czech theater and entertainment.
