Tantehorse is a Czech theater company, which acts as a platform for original works, producing high quality, socially resonating productions, as well as a producing platform, creating space for new choreographers and authors in the field of dance and movement art.
Our front line includes movement productions that, since the beginnings of Tantehorse, have regularly achieved international renown (Light in the Darkness, S/he is Nancy Joe, Faith, etc.), multi-genre and innovative productions (Osudety - on the border of performance, installations and escape games), performative lectures (Fears), performative productions (30-hour Momentum), and above all the entire documentary series of autobiographical monodramas Invisible I.-III., about invisible women- artists with extraordinary life stories (Hannah, Barbora and Iris).
The second line includes productions that are created to support the mentoring of young artists, whether it is a tantelab, which is a long-term laboratory bridging the end of studies and a professional artistic career, in which performers, in a safe environment-962 gain both theoretical and practical stage experience in varied activities, as well as the Emergency Dances series, which gives young choreographers the opportunity to create their first original works. Emergency Dances has already had four rounds of performance, in which more than twelve original works were created (among them, Jáma Lvová and Sádlo Ridina Ahmed).
Tantehorse aims to bring new and original influences to the Czech dance and theater scene, investing in detailed research processes, cross-overs, and immersive projects. The leader is Mirenka Cechova, recognized author, director, choreographer and performer, whose highly award-winning and socially critical thinking provokes and changes the Czech theater scene together with Tantehorse since the year 2010.
Among the other leaders of our ensemble are dramaturge and theatrical lecturer Kristyna Bohacova, choreographer and performer Marketa Vacovska, and philosopher Alice Koubova.
