The credo of the theatre for over thirty years now has been: artistic freedom, imagination and dedication. Credo Theatre stands for a creative space rejecting templates for mass production or cliches in theatre, renouncing inferior artistic flirtations with the audience or conformity with public consumption stereotypes, standing against transactional attitudes which bring the art down to products for sale, the act of making it – into a factory line and the interaction with the audience – into commercial exchange. Theatre Credo stands for creativity free of professional or institutional dogmas and prejudice, a space open to novelty, to the unknown and the unfamiliar, in which the greatest artist is the unconfined, emancipated, rejecting stereotypes creative nature. Theatre Credo stands for a different physical condition of the creative spirit. Theatre Credo stands for the entire process from the first rehearsal to the final performance. Theatre Credo stands for imagination vested in presenting values that matter. More »
