Spitfire Company is a Prague-based ensemble working at the intersection of physical, visual and dance theatre, co-founded in 2008 by choreographer-performer Miřenka Čechová and director Petr Boháč. Each production builds its own physical language around existential themes - exhaustion, trauma, political alienation. The company has performed in over 20 countries across three continents, winning the Herald Angel Award at Edinburgh Fringe and earning three Total Theatre Award nominations.
Spitfire Company returns to Festival d'Avignon OFF with the production Antiwords, which will be presented at the La Manufacture theatre from July 5 to 21, 2026.
In December 2025, the Palác Akropolis hosted the premiere of the project DVACETjedna, in which Miřenka Čechová collaborates with twenty female directors and choreographers from around the world on a reinterpretation of Ibsen's Nora.
In March 2025, the Prague Municipal Theatres hosted the premiere of Gulliver's Travels - the ensemble's first co-production with this institution after leaving the Ponec Theatre.
Spitfire Company, together with other ensembles, publicly announced its departure from the Ponec Theatre and criticized the excessive centralization of the Czech contemporary dance scene under the umbrella of the organization Tanec Praha.
At Edinburgh Fringe 2023, the ensemble received one of the main Fringe First awards for the project The Last of the Soviets, inspired by the work of Svetlana Alexievich.
