Holektiv

Holektiv has operated as an artistic collective since 2016. It was founded by Andrea Vykysalá, Eva Stará and Karolína Křížková, who bring together physical theatre, dance and contemporary circus. The company explores current social themes, presenting them in an accessible form marked by distinctive poetics and playful irony. As the only Czech company selected for the prestigious European programme RoundAbout Europe, Holektiv has toured its works at festivals in Armenia, Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Italy, Poland, Japan and beyond.

Director Veronika Poldauf Riedlbauchová has shown her work at Czech and international festivals and collaborates with the South Bohemian Theatre, DRAK Theatre, and companies such as Bratři v triku and Squadra Sua. For the production Do hajan, she received the Mateřinka Award 2021, was nominated for the Theatre Newspaper Award, and is a laureate of the International Zdeněk Fibich Prize. She previously collaborated with Holektiv on the production Lov.
