Kabaret Kajbar– This poetic evening, full of costumes and dadaist sketches is an auteur creation with local roots. In 2003 a group of citizens of České Budějovice decided to organise a cabaret to pay homage to the poetry, music and dance of Laďa Kajbar, České Budějovice’s most eminently picturesque figure. Cultural, regional, social, local, global, philosophical, religious, educational, atheist, environmental, metaphysical, national, minority, gender, primitive, decadent, pataphysical, worldwide, meaningless, all-embracing. This is what the Kabaret Kajbar is like, and has been for thirteen years now, and so is its chief spirit Jakub Doubrava.
