I kdyz (meaning “although”, “even though” in Czech) is an independent theatre company led by David Dvorak, co-director of the Kolin International Mime Festival alongside Jiri Turek.
I kdyz was originally a troupe of professional and amateur actors, with the latter deciding to enrol at the Prague Theatre Institute after several years of working with the company.
All of the company’s performances are infused with a sense of freshness and spontaneity, bursting with ideas and respecting the individuality of each performer. These shows are driven by a vibrant sense of emotional and dynamic expression which, save for a few rare exceptions, eschews language in favour of movement, gesture and object handling.
