Divadlo Kámen is a Prague author's theatre and artistic salon, operating since 2007 in its own theatre studio for 50 spectators near the Invalidovna metro station in Prague's Karlín district. Divadlo Kámen was founded in 1998 and has created 40 productions over its existence. At first it performed mainly in several Prague clubs (Studio Damúza, Klub Klamovka, Karlos Bar, Karlínské Spektrum, and others), and from 2004 to 2007 it performed regularly at Žižkovské divadlo Járy Cimrmana and at Divadlo v Celetné. The founder, artistic director, director and author of most of the theatre's plays is Petr Odo Macháček, "Personality of the Year 2013" within the festival "...příští vlna/next wave...". Since around 2019, Divadlo Kámen has mostly created plays inspired by the most contemporary Czech literature — recent works by living authors. The plays are usually created within a few years of the book's publication. Among the authors whose texts the theatre has used are Jáchym Topol, Jiří Hájíček, Jan Tománek, Martin Vopěnka, Petr Stančík, Jarmila Klímová. Divadlo Kámen is consistently an author's theatre; its speciality is original and unusual approaches to modern drama. Its performances open up space for unusual experiences, free interpretation and inevitable humour. Divadlo Kámen relies on a group of actors who work together over the long term and conceptually, and who are the main creators of every performance — for example the actresses Zdeňka Brychtová, Lucie Zachovalová, Lenka Chadimová, Kristýna Suchá, Lenka Záveská, actor and sociologist of art Miroslav Paulíček, and actor, dancer and performer Vladimir Benderski, among others. Among Divadlo Kámen's significant and award-winning theatre projects are the plays: View of the Elbe River (a dramatic story from behind the scenes of the zero-zero-zero-zero-one formula races and from a house where a number of different architectural styles meet, written and directed by Martin J. Švejda j.h.), A Letter Sent by Post (a detective story about looking into other worlds and other postal systems, with modern Czech poetry by Jan Vladislav, Jan Nedbálek and others), Mammoth Mammoth (a slightly disharmonious business drama
