One hundred years ago, on February 8, 1926, the Liberated Theatre (Osvobozené divadlo) was founded in Prague – an avant-garde scene that profoundly influenced Czech culture and laid the foundations of modern political satire. It was here that the famous trio Jiří Voskovec, Jan Werich, and composer Jaroslav Ježek emerged, whose work remains one of the most significant chapters in Czech theatre.
The Liberated Theatre was created as part of the artistic movement Devětsil, inspired by the European avant-garde – Futurism, Dadaism, and Poetism.
