Brno
Divadlo BARKA is a barrier-free community theatre in the Královo Pole district of Brno, operated by the civic association Liga vozíčkářů (Wheelchair Users' League) since 1994. It is housed in a 1925 Constructivist building originally built as a Hussite church. The 150-seat hall with a 9×9 m stage serves around 40 ensembles per year, including amateur, integrated, student and professional groups. The theatre has no resident company of its own, acting instead as a venue provider and festival organiser.
