THEATRUM KUKS 2026
A multi-genre festival of Baroque and Baroque-inspired art celebrates its 25th anniversary. This year's theme is light – light as a beginning, birth, hope, as an object and theatrical element, as a divine touch and life-giving energy. The festival also joins a nationwide relay celebrating the 10th anniversary of Czech-Slovak puppet theatre's inscription on the UNESCO list – the programme therefore includes puppet performances for both children and adults.
Over forty productions will take place across five days in Kuks and the surrounding area, featuring a festival excursion, site-specific programmes, a retrospective of past festival editions, and traditional workshops and artist residencies.
For multi-day visitors, a Festival Pass is available at a discounted price of 6,990 CZK, which includes admission to all festival productions and an excursion with bus transport on Thursday, 20 August 2026. The number of passes at this price is limited. A Patron Festival Pass is also available for 14,990 CZK.
Admission: full price (adults) / reduced (students aged 15–26, pensioners 65+, children aged 4–15, holders of TP, ZTP and ZTP/P cards). Children up to and including age 3 have free admission.
