DIOD is a space for independent projects located in a renovated Sokol Hall in the city of Jihlava. It opened on 1 April 2011. As a cultural centre of the region of Vysočina, it offers a well-equipped ‘black box’ with space dispositions and room capacity that could be adapted to any project. The dramaturgy of the theatre is open and offers production of art and social projects of region-based authors and organizers. At the same time, we show theatre and dance projects from the entire Czech Republic; by doing so we promote contemporary art in the region. DIOD is a centre open to communication about social and art issues, where values of community life and civil society are fulfilled. Founding DIOD marked yet another spot on the map of the Czech Republic where independent art companies are presented and can create. DIOD is not a legal subject; it is operated by Sokol Gymnastics Jihlava (Tělocvičná jednota Sokol Jihlava). The City of Jihlava is a partner of the DIOD project.
