THEATRUM KUKS

Theatrum Kuks organises a multidisciplinary festival of the same name that showcases Baroque and Baroque-inspired art on the background of the Kuks site. It follows in the Kuks’s tradition as a European music, theatre, and art centre with the goal to bring performing arts back to Kuks. Since 2020 Teatrum Kuks has been operating the Gallery of Marionettes featuring a unique collection of 50 marionettes by Jiří Nachlinger inspired by the sculptures of Matthias Braun. During their Summer Marionette Season, it showcases puppet performances by guest artists. It offers artists residencies and art workshops. Through its activities it encourages interdisciplinary encounters and ignites interest in exploring Baroque in contemporary art practice. Theatrum Kuks participates in the project #novebaroko.
