“Jozef Fruček asked me if show that I want to produce, shall enjoy a success in Prague, or show, which shall infringe limits of the present performance art in general. Guess, what was my answer.” – Rostislav Novák Jr.

About the company
Cirk La Putyka is an ensemble dedicated professionally to the contemporary Circus. We are trying to transcend the lines between acrobatics, contemporary dance, puppetry, concert and sport. We are striving to create our own specific theatre poetics and find a perspective on the genre as a whole. For Cirk La Putyka, the theme, the story and the message are as important as the professional approach to both – individual theatre genres and circus disciplines.
