Continuo Theatre

Continuo is an international independent theatre group led by Pavel Štourač, its director and artistic coordinator. Since 1995 the company has been settled in a little village in South Bohemia called Malovice in a former farmstead called The Plum Yard. Continuo’s productions cannot be easily categorized into genres. Movement, live music, puppets, physical acting, acrobatics, dance, along with striking visual stylization – all of these create the unique poetics of each individual production.

Continuo Theatre is a group that professes theatre as a process, a need, a way of being. Although it is often described as physical or visual theatre, it is virtually impossible to classify its work by genre. Continuo Theatre work combines physical acting with puppet theatre practices, live music, and distinctive visual stylization.

Members of Continuo research an authentic, personal connection between visual artistic knowledge and physical acting, rhythm, voice, and musicality. Everyday work consists of actors’ trainings, workshops in which they get familiar with acting, dancing and voice techniques, in both, collective and individual way of learning and researching.
