About the venue: DK Poklad

The DK Poklad house of culture in Ostrava-Poruba opened in December 1961 as part of the New Ostrava development and has been a listed cultural monument since 2009. The building, designed by architects Jiří Petrusiak, Čeněk Vorel and František Michališ in a classicising style with Brussels-style elements, features a sculptural group called Nový věk by Jan Kavan on its main façade. After a major renovation completed in August 2021, it offers a theatre hall for 400, a mini-cinema, a ballroom, and the open-air Amfi amphitheatre behind the building with 1,700 seats. Theatre, cinema, concerts and the venue's own festivals - including Amfifest and the food festival Velká žranice - all take place here.
