Summary/Abstract: The text portrays the Prague ensemble, whose theatrical works are only one part of its vibrant post-dramatic activity. Handa Gote has been operating on the Czech theatre scene since 2005. It is one of the most important groups that developed their theatrical language drawing inspiration not only from surrealists, but also from anthropological research, folk theatre, traditional theatre forms that are linked with the principles of DIY, technological theatre, puppet theatre. They extend their experiments into music, radio, exhibition projects and radically subversive public space events. This cultivation of artistic universality, group work, post-dramatic and post-spectacular attitudes characterize the foundations of this unique group, which also focuses on object, puppet, dance and multimedia theatre.
