Vzlet was co-founder by several cultural organozations
This year marks the 28th anniversary since its inception. Vosto5 is renowned for its innovative humour. The ensemble's composition is as diverse as its members. The core of the theatre is the five creators and actors – Ondřej Cihlář, Jiří Havelka, Petr Prokop, Tomina Jeřábek and Ondřej Bauer.
Continuing the tradition of the Vršovice cinema from the 1930s and the Zahrádka cinema, which dates back to 1908, Kino Pilotů offers a diverse program featuring popular films as well as award-winning art films from festivals. At Vzlet it supports lectures and provides an accompanying educational program.
The baroque orchestra Collegium 1704 was founded on the occasion of the Bach—Prague—2005 festival and since then has been enjoying success on the most important European stages and festivals. The founder of the orchestra is harpsichordist and conductor Václav Luks.
