We established the independent art group 8lid\u00ed (8people) in 2017. We studied together at the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre at DAMU in Prague, where we formed a single year group, our subjects being directing, dramaturgy, and scenography, and later decided to continue working together. We are 8lid\u00ed, but really, there are ten of us. Our team is composed of Petr Erbes, Emilie Formanov\u00e1, Nina Jacques, Boris Jedin\u00e1k, Anna Klime\u0161ov\u00e1, Alice Kofl\u00e1kov\u00e1, Karol\u00edna Kotrbov\u00e1, Zuzana Scerankov\u00e1, Vendula Tom\u0161\u016f, and Viktorie V\u00e1\u0161ov\u00e1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What We Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We mostly create projects related to current social topics that operate on the borders of theatre, performance, installation, and happenings. Crucial for our mode of working is a collective, non-hierarchical method at all phases and levels. We understand such collective practice as a political gesture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the centre of our attention is the spectator as a human being, a citizen, and an individual. We place him in the centre of our attention, his actions thus becoming an inseparable part of the work. We explore both the position of the spectator in the theatrical form and the position of theatre in society. We ascribe the highest possible importance to the spectator\u2019s artistic analysis, to his capacity to intuitively read and understand theatrical events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
