This theatre slot machine gives spectators a chance to change the fate of a young girl who decides to fulfil her big dream in the capital city... Will she manage to overcome all obstacles? Will she make it in the new setting? Her fate is in your hands! The most recent performance by the Czech “classics” of theatre improvisation!


Vosto5 Theatre was founded in 1978 by the four-year-old Tomáš Jeřábek. His authorial one-man company soon became famous through performing on TV shows with his own Uncle Jedlička alongside whom little Tomáš appeared in an irreproducible part of a dead piggy. After a family crisis broke out, eventually leading to abandoning the tyrant Uncle, Tomina invited little Péťa (Prokop) to join his company.
In 1979, a couple of friends always in each other's pocket, David Kašpar and Onřej Cihlář, joined the two. In the following year, the fresh Jiří Havelka was born into the company. The line-up was now complete and the Golden Age of Vosto5 braced with many a success was about to start. They won audience awards at festivals Puppet Rumburk and Havířov Miner's Lamp or the Main Prize at The Nutcracker's Clown festival and, most importantly, the Silver Thalia at Clown's Ham Sausage Festival, to name but a few...

Vosto5 are frequent (and one of the most popular) guests of the Flora Theatre Festival: alongside their traditional theatre/music performances, in recent years, the festival hosted e.g. their productions Košičan 3 (2006), Caravan Europe (Karavan Evropa, 2007) or The Filthyple Hand (Špialová ruka, 2008). After a year's break, they are back at Olomouc's Konvikt with their unmistakable theatre poetics and a brand new production, Theatr-O-Mat (premiered on April 29, 2010).
