    Šimon Spišák a co. THREE NUTS Divadlo na cucky Olomouc

    An atypical rendering of a typical fairy tale – with a slightly different prince – for everyone above 5 years of age. Directed by: Šimon Spišák

    Ticket price: 100 Kč
    The staging style of Šimon Spišák could be described as exuberant. Its theatrical language is based on incoherence and unpredictability, his productions are fountains of ideas, associative digressions and unexpected cuts. He never allows the audience to fall into a sweet lethargy; the audience is alert and constantly bombarded with the information that what is happening is theatre.

    Šimon Spišák comes from a theatre, or more precisely directing family – his grandfather Karol, father Ondřej and uncle Michal chose this profession. A graduate of directing at the KALD DAMU, he is a founding member of the Prague independent ensemble Lachende Bestien, where he still works as an author, director and actor. After leaving his engagement at the Karol Spišák Old Theatre in Nitra, he founded the New Theatre there.
    He has created drama and puppet fairy tales for children and young people on Slovak (Puppet Theatre Žilina, Slovak National Theatre Bratislava) and Czech stages (Puppet Theater Ostrava, DRAK Theatre, Divadlo Lampion Kladno). As a director he impressed with his rendering of fairy tales by H. Ch. Andersen and The Diary of Anne Frank.

    Divadlo na cucky is an open space for culture on Dolní náměstí in the centre of Olomouc. In addition to its own productions, the theatre also presents guest artists, creative workshops for all generations and promotes social dialogue through talks and lectures. The specific selection of production teams and personalities (such as Michal Hába, Patrik Lančarič, Šimon Spišák, Júlia Rázusová, Adam Svozil, Lucie Ferenzová, Tomáš Loužný, Barbara Herz, etc.) shapes the theatre's unique poetics, which tends towards experimentation and the search for new means of communication. The scene reflects current social issues such as nationalism, polarisation of society, the influence of social networks, feminism or environmental grief. The creation and direction of the theatre, together with its artistic director Silvia Vollmann, has been strongly shaped by the intendant Jan Žůrek, who was replaced as director by Alžběta Kvapilová in 2021. In addition to repertoire production and other activities, Divadlo na cucky organises the summer festival of new circus Cirkuzkus.
