Welcome to Divadelní soubor Peripetie, o.s.
Divadelní soubor Peripetie, o.s. is a Czech nonprofit organization devoted to the development of theatre, culture, creativity, and community participation. We were founded with the belief that the performing arts can play a meaningful role in society by connecting people, encouraging empathy, nurturing talent, and making culture more accessible.
Our organization works at the intersection of artistic creation, education, and community life. We create theatre productions that entertain, inspire, and spark reflection. At the same time, we design programs that expand access to culture, support creative expression, and encourage active public participation in the arts. We see theatre not only as a stage performance, but also as a space for learning, dialogue, inclusion, and personal growth.
Through performances, rehearsed readings, workshops, cultural events, collaborative projects, and educational activities, we aim to strengthen the role of the arts in everyday life. We welcome children, youth, adults, families, emerging artists, volunteers, and community members who wish to explore the power of storytelling and shared cultural experience.
Divadelní soubor Peripetie, o.s. values quality, openness, cooperation, and social impact. We are committed to building a welcoming cultural environment where artistic work can flourish and where people from different backgrounds can meet through creativity and mutual respect. Our long-term goal is to contribute to a vibrant civil society by using theatre as a tool for cultural participation, education, and community connection.
Divadelní soubor Peripetie, o.s. was established to support theatre as a living, public, and socially valuable art form. As a nonprofit organization, we focus on cultural benefit rather than commercial profit. Our activities are designed to serve the public interest by enriching cultural life, encouraging participation in the arts, and making creative opportunities available to wider communities.
We believe that theatre has a unique ability to help people explore identity, relationships, memory, social questions, and shared values. It creates a space where imagination and lived experience can meet. For this reason, our work goes beyond staging productions. We also invest in educational initiatives, outreach activities, cultural partnerships, and projects that create meaningful contact between artists and the public.
Our organization supports artistic development and community engagement in practical ways. We prepare original and adapted performances, organize rehearsals and creative laboratories, host workshops and discussions, and create opportunities for people of different ages to encounter theatre not only as spectators, but also as participants. We encourage creative confidence, teamwork, expression, and appreciation for culture.
As a civic nonprofit organization in the Czech Republic, we aim to contribute positively to local and broader cultural ecosystems. We value cooperation with schools, municipalities, cultural institutions, community groups, artists, educators, and supporters who share our commitment to creativity, access, and social value. We are interested in sustainable cultural development and in building programs that leave a lasting positive impact on participants and audiences.
Our work is guided by the understanding that culture should be open, inclusive, and meaningful. We want people to feel that theatre belongs to them—that it can be a place of joy, reflection, education, and belonging. This is why we continue to build programs that invite participation, strengthen communities, and support the cultural life of the places where we work.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enrich society through theatre, artistic expression, and cultural participation. We exist to create high-quality theatrical and educational experiences that inspire creativity, encourage dialogue, and build stronger human connections.
We are committed to making the performing arts accessible to diverse audiences and participants, including young people, families, emerging creators, and community members who may have limited access to cultural opportunities. Through our nonprofit work, we seek to remove barriers to participation and create welcoming spaces where people can engage with art in meaningful and personal ways.
Our mission also includes supporting learning, self-expression, cooperation, and civic engagement. We use theatre as a medium for cultural exchange, emotional understanding, creative education, and community-building. By bringing people together around stories, performances, and artistic processes, we help foster empathy, confidence, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for culture.
In everything we do, we strive to create lasting public value: stronger communities, more active cultural participation, and greater opportunities for people to connect through the arts.
Our Vision
Our vision is a society in which culture is accessible, vibrant, and deeply connected to community life. We imagine a future where theatre is not seen as distant or exclusive, but as an open and welcoming space for expression, dialogue, education, and belonging.
We aspire to be a respected nonprofit cultural organization in the Czech Republic known for artistic integrity, meaningful public engagement, and socially valuable programming. We want to build a creative environment in which people of all ages can discover the transformative power of theatre—as audience members, learners, collaborators, and creators.
We envision long-term partnerships with schools, cultural institutions, local authorities, artists, donors, volunteers, and communities that believe in the importance of the arts. Through these relationships, we hope to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and contribute to a healthier cultural ecosystem.
Our vision is also rooted in inclusion and sustainability. We want to create programs that are responsible, accessible, community-oriented, and relevant to real human experiences. By doing so, we aim to help shape a future where art and culture remain an essential part of public life and social development.
