The Líšeň Theatre is a Czech professional troupe (Brno) with more than twenty-five years of history and an international reputation. It is a member of the Czech Association of Independent Theatre, the International Puppet Union UNIMA, and the Brno Independent Theatres Association. 

The Líšeň Theatre's productions participate in festivals in the Czech Republic and abroad, where they have won multiple awards. Within the context of Czech and European theatre, it has a distinctive poetic style based on a strong emphasis on artistic elements and experimentation.
The theatre implements extensive projects supported by respected donors such as the International Visegrad Fund and EEA Funds. It systematically engages in politically and socially committed theatre and is the only theatre in the Czech Republic with a long-term collaboration with Roma artists. Since 1999, it has been organizing festivals and workshops for professionals and the public. 

One of its main focuses is politically engaged theatre. Productions such as Putin is Skiing (a play about the birth of a killer), Blood Hygiene, Confessions of a Jailor, and Crippletrek address political and social issues. These politically engaged productions are created through extensive research. This dramaturgical direction led to a three-year project supported by the EEA Funds, Provoking Theatre. Following its successful completion, the theatre launched the Provoking Theatre in Visegrad project, supported by the International Visegrad Fund. 

For the general public and schools, the Líšeň Theatre offers performances, workshops, and curated programs, including lectures on current social issues. Its educational projects, With Roma about Roma and The Final Solution and Contemporary Europe, were supported by the Open Society Institute and the International Visegrad Fund, both receiving exceptionally positive feedback from schools. 

The theatre has long collaborated with Roma artists, creating several productions and educational programs that promote Roma culture. Projects such as With Roma about Roma and Roma Dance were supported by the Open Society Institute and the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports of the Czech Republic. In 2022, the theatre revived the production Paramisa (Cunning Stupid Roma), marking the beginning of its Roma collaboration in 2005. It is now performed for schools and the public with a new cast. 

The Líšeň Theatre’s work with Roma artists has been included in the international RomArchive collection, which documents Roma cultural activities, particularly in the arts.  

The current repertoire of the Líšeň Theatre includes 13 productions and several workshops. More details, including video clips of performances, can be found here: https://www.divadlolisen.cz/repertoar/
