The Patron78 club was established several years ago. From the start, it was supported by people with great hearts—those who stood by us during the Covid times, through war times, and during the energy crisis. Our Patrons believe that Jatka78 is more than just a theatre. It is a space where something is created that might not otherwise exist. Freedom of choice, bold themes, and circus talents that take your breath away.

Most theatres in this country stand on firmer ground because they are funded by the state budget. We chose a different path. We are an independent stage. We create from our own strength. From every ticket sold. From every evening you spend with us. And thanks to those who decide to be even closer to us. Thanks to those who realize that independent culture isn’t a given. That freedom of expression, courage, and authenticity deserve a place in society. And we create that place together.

Jatka78 is a non-profit cultural organization dependent on multi-source financing—and the community of our supporters is an incredibly important part of our work, our lives, and our future.

Every year, we prepare domestic and international premieres. We strive to provide our team with better and safer working conditions. We grow, both ourselves and our environment. And all of this is largely thanks to the support of our Patron78 club.

What is our vision?

• We want to develop vivid culture in Prague and across the Czech Republic.
• We aim to strengthen our position on the European cultural map.
• We wish to create both theatrical and non-theatrical projects.
• We want to be progressive, contemporary, and relevant—in programming, casting, and approach.
• We strive to grow, to educate, to offer our space, to export and import what we ourselves would love to see, from regions of the Czech Republic and the entire world.
• We are committed to developing our venues—not only Jatka78 but also Azyl78.

Patron78 – a circle of supporters who are shaping the future of independent culture

Circus—a circle, a symbol of wholeness and continuity. It has no beginning or end, knows no borders. The cycle of seasons and human life. Our circle is an arena that has already embraced so many people, their lives, and unforgettable experiences. It represents endless possibilities, because the only real limits we have are in our minds. And ours is open—to ideas, challenges, and paths that others might shy away from.

Every bit of your support is like turning on another spotlight. Lighting up a stage that deserves it, illuminating stories that might otherwise go unheard. May that spotlight never go out! Become a Patron78.
