Krepsko was established in spring 2001 as an international company focusing on dance, acting, mime, song and musical improvisation. Krepsko is the nonsense name of a radical band of contemporary clowns. It doesn't mean anything, but it sounds like a country to Czech speakers: the state of Krepsko, where strange people live and bizarre things happen. Krepsko was founded in spring 2001 as an improvisation ensemble with fixed number of performers. They are perhaps best known for these weird and wonderful improvisations at various festivals over the last years, though they also perform set pieces. Krepsko is situation theatre - breaking down the pictures that arise on stage and splitting the inspiration of the individual actors into mutually irrational reactions resulting in absurd situations. The Krepsko ensemble creates situations, but beyond this, they look for ways of how to distort them. Decomposition or destruction of the dramatic situation thus opens a wide field for new impulses and reassesses the form of a play as such. Besides message and narration, the Krepsko ensemble wishes to allow its audience a wider space for understanding and interpreting, as well to give them pleasure through viewing. They do also try to find a form for these purposes that is cheerful and interesting. Krepsko performs with live musicians, and have worked already with many (violin, bass, double bass, percussion, clarinet, flute … ) In each new performing place Krepsko is eager and curious to play and improvise with local musicians.
