Jiří Havelka

Jiří Havelka is a theater director, actor, co-founder and moderator of Óčko television.  He was born on June 17, 1980 on the Czech-Moravian border, in Jihlava.  He lived with his own father in his five years, so he was brought up in a family with the same women.  With my mom and two sisters.  He claims he is very choleric and he does not like to admit mistakes.  Perhaps it is the belief that it is pushing him forward. 

He studied at the grammar school in Jihlava until his 17 years of age,  where he already participated in the foundation of the HOBIT theater  association.  After graduation he studied at DAMU in Prague, directing department.   During his studies, he began to play and direct on a small stage the  Ypsilon Studio in Spalena Street, where he still works today. 

At the moment he is also a member of the cabaret theater VOSTO5, which  is known for promoting open forms of author’s productions.  And, of course, improvisation in which there is no competition. A great success, for example, is their Standard Cabaret. 

As a director he also works at the Dejvicke Theater and at the DISK Theater.  He also directs the author’s games (1203 or Unsatisfied, Man, Try it !, Drama in Brief, Nadsamec Jarry, Black Hole, and more).  He co-organized the Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival and organizes Festival Cute Drama. 

He is co-founder of the Óčko TV station, where he is the creator and moderator of the improvisation skeptic program Barage.  In 2007 he won the Alfred Radok Award as the talent of the year. 

He is a very charismatic, talented man with incredible fantasy.  It is visible and felt that what he does loves every piece of his soul.  He puts a piece of himself in everything, and it is unpaid today.
