Ponec Theater

Ponec Theater, a venue for contemporary dance and movement is an open space that is dedicated to artistic expression and showcasing new trends that embody creativity and originality. The theater offers a productive space for mutually independent artists who form a regular troupe that assists the theater by continuing to perform and closely work with the theater. In Ponec Theater you will witness all kinds of movement from falling to flying to even hanging; artists perform in ballet shoes or barefoot and are in constant modern movement with their heads, arms, backs, their whole bodies. The theater program includes workshops, educational projects, and programs for children, conferences and professional seminars, even discussions. Ponec Theater is also home to a colorful café/bar with free Wi-Fi that opens one hour before a performance and stays open till the wee hours.  The Ponec theater is located in a unique building, a former wire-rod mill opened in 1888. The industrial space was rented by the film enthusiast Frantisek Ponec whose name the current theater bears and who changed it into a movie theater called the Royal Bioscop of Frantisek Ponec.
