About the venue: Vzlet

Vzlet is a multifunctional cultural centre in the Vršovice district of Prague 10, housed in an Art Deco building dating from 1921. Originally a cinema, it later served as a film archive warehouse before reopening after reconstruction in 2021. The centre was founded by three Prague cultural organisations: theatre company VOSTO5, baroque orchestra Collegium 1704, and Kino Pilotů. It hosts concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions and other live arts, and includes the Vzlet Café on site.

About: Vendula Tomšů

Set designer and performer Vendula Tomšů makes author-driven projects at the crossroads of theatre, visual art and performance - typically for a handful of spectators who find themselves inside the work rather than watching it. She co-founded the collective 8lidí and the Zvěřinec association, and her pieces appear regularly at the Malá inventura festival and across the Czech independent theatre scene.
