Welcome to a shifting Terén. We are a team of people creating a framework for new works in theatre and interdisciplinary art. We are a municipal art laboratory, a public service, and a community. On our home stage in Brno, we present theatre productions and performances throughout the year, and we also organize music events, special programs, celebrations and parties. We are part of the Centre for Experimental Theatre, together with Husa na provázku Theatre and HaDivadlo.

We are a stage for powerful experiences.

We explore and open up various urban spaces and environments for live art—warehouse spaces in shopping centres, a former dubbing studio, or meeting halls of the Brno City Council Club, where we organize artistic and community events. We also present our programme in theatre halls and the underground spaces of the Centre for Experimental Theatre at Zelný trh.

Terén is here for those who are curious and eager to experience, try, or explore something together. In our programme, you will find intimate encounters, critical social discourse, closeness and spectacle.

Live art is constantly evolving. Follow its development with us.

We support independent art that takes risks and experiments both formally and conceptually. We embrace a wide range of aesthetics, stylistic approaches, and generational and community perspectives. We specialize in new modes of spectatorship and participation, as well as overlaps with music and sound art.

We present our own projects, created in collaboration with Czech and international artists—both established and emerging. We offer our collaborators professional institutional support that can adapt to unconventional artistic practices, as well as to the technological and organizational challenges involved in both long-term projects and one-off events.

We are a contributory organization of the City of Brno.

We bring together institutional and independent scenes and focus on developing new collaborations. We connect authors, audiences, the public, organizations, and international partners. Through collaboration within Terén, we explore and share new artistic approaches, audience roles, and the meaning of a public art institution.

We tour nationally and internationally. Terén’s productions have been presented in Finland, Croatia, Romania, Poland, Germany, as well as in Mexico and South Korea.

In 2025, performers from the productions Headbanger and FUGK were nominated for the Thalia Awards in the Alternative Theatre category.

In 2022, Terén was nominated for the Czech Theatre DNA Award in the category of Outstanding Achievement, Contribution, or Development in New Theatre.

In 2020, the production I Will Fill Your Dress with My Body received the Next Wave Festival Award for Achievement of the Year.

We are Terén.

Since 2019, we have created dozens of projects, which you can explore in our archive and on Vimeo.
