MUSAŠI ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY

Musaši Entertainment Company is an artistic group that focuses on theatre, visual arts and installations, audio works, woodcarving, traditional crafts, makes musical instruments, and conducts workshops for children and adults.

The group was founded at the Department of Alternative Puppet Theatre, Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU), starting with a launch of the puppet production Entomologious in 2020. Another of the group’s projects is a series of miniature productions – short puppet performances lasting only several minutes. The main tools of the group's theatrical work include visual dramaturgy and a nebulous presence of the narrative. Musaši Entertainment Company intervenes in the sphere of alternative theatre (butoh-clowneries: Teď když mám dům spálený na popel, vidím lépe na měsíc, 2021; Grunt: Kronika lidové krutosti, 2022) and art installations (Voliéra, 3D comics entitled Dřeva na lyžích and PIDIVANDR).

Permanent group members: Adam Páník, Tereza Havlová, Františka Jesenská. Other members: Veronika Traburová, Boris Jedinák, Matěj Šumbera.

Supporters: Nova sit z.s., DAMU, Alfred ve dvoře / Motus, MČ Praha 7, MKČR, Magistrát Hl. m. Prahy
