A respected addictionologist Dušan was sentenced to six years for growing medical cannabis.

A stage documentary production about the fine line between powerfulness and powerlessness. A grotesquely authentic report from prison. A mystic dance of the Dervishes directed by Barbara Herz. Discussion follows.

Divadlo na cucky is an open space for culture on Dolní náměstí in the centre of Olomouc. In addition to its own productions, the theatre also presents guest artists, creative workshops for all generations and promotes social dialogue through talks and lectures. The specific selection of production teams and personalities (such as Michal Hába, Patrik Lančarič, Šimon Spišák, Júlia Rázusová, Adam Svozil, Lucie Ferenzová, Tomáš Loužný, Barbara Herz, etc.) shapes the theatre's unique poetics, which tends towards experimentation and the search for new means of communication. The scene reflects current social issues such as nationalism, polarisation of society, the influence of social networks, feminism or environmental grief. The creation and direction of the theatre, together with its artistic director Silvia Vollmann, has been strongly shaped by the intendant Jan Žůrek, who was replaced as director by Alžběta Kvapilová in 2021. In addition to repertoire production and other activities, Divadlo na cucky organises the summer festival of new circus Cirkuzkus.
