Geisslers Hofcomoedianten is an independent professional theatre company founded in 2002 in Kuks, Czech Republic, named after Anton Joseph Geissler, the principal of Count Sporck's baroque theatres. The ensemble draws on baroque tradition without attempting historical reconstruction - instead it mines old texts for timeless themes and shapes them into lively, comedic theatre that blends drama, song, puppetry and dance. In over two decades the company has created more than thirty productions and performed at festivals across Europe and the United States, with its home stage at Divadlo VILA Štvanice in Prague since 2014.
In October 2025, the opera Divadlo světla premiered under the direction of Petr Hašek, created in collaboration with the orchestra Musica Florea; the production runs until September 2026.
At the Moravský Parnas festival in Mikulov (July 24-26, 2025), the ensemble presented the production Projekt Casanova: Jak voní ramlice dedicated to the 300th anniversary of Giacomo Casanova's birth.
In May 2025, the production Rezavá Anna aneb Zač je toho kost! premiered, a grotesque noir loosely based on legends about Rezavá Anna and the phenomenon of figural reliquaries.
In May 2023, the production 27 (directed by Petr Hašek) won the Mark Ravenhill Prize for the best Czech theatrical production of a new text in 2022.
The opera Římská Lukrécie presented as part of the Antická Štvanice festival was nominated for the Theatre Newspapers Prize in the music of the year category.
