The international and multi-genre theatre Jatka78 is looking for new projects for its international residency program in 2026. Are you planning a premiere in the next three years and looking for residency spaces? Are you looking for a space to complete a production and stage a premiere? We are open to all interesting projects and creative ideas!
We offer an opportunity for ambitious mid-scale contemporary circus projects (3–8 artists) which will later be presented (when finished) within our international program on Jatka78’s main stage (capacity: 342 seats).
We provide access to our training hall (ideal for aerial acrobatics, chinese pole, and other technically demanding disciplines) or our rehearsal studio (ideal for floor and partner acrobatics and dance).
The residency period is primarily offered throughout 2026, but the exact dates will be agreed upon with the selected companies.
The open call closes on 15 January 2026, and selected projects will be announced by the end of January 2026. In the past, successful productions such as All Genius All Idiots (Svalbard Company), Analog (Analog the Company), and Sweat and Ink (Barcode Circus Company) were developed within this residency program and went on to tour worldwide.
What do we offer?
- Creation space (training hall, rehearsal studio)
- Technical equipment
- Technical, production, and marketing support
- Co-production
What we require
- A discount on the final performance fee, ideally presenting the world premiere at Jatka78
- Mention of Jatka78 as a partner/co-producer in the project’s promotional materials
- A work-in-progress presentation during the residency
