23 Poems Collective

23 Poems Collective brings together four independent artists – Eliška Benešová, Tereza Krejčová, Kristýna Peldová, and Karolína Šnajdrová. Their work bridges from theatre and site-specific performances, through teaching for diverse groups, to creating short dance films and photography.

Since 2023, they have been in creative dialogue with the cultural space ÚL, where in May 2024 they presented their site-specific debut S.I.O. Sides of In and Out. In 2025, they created a multimedia performance Rapture in collaboration with Slovenian visual artist Enya Belak and co-production with Tanec Praha z. ú.. 

Besides these projects, the collective continuously collaborates with cultural institutions and regional spaces, including Sladovna Písek, Stodola Drozdov, Vzbuďme Vary, Primary and Art School Šmeralova in Karlovy Vary, and the SIRAEX festival.
