Karel Karlos Šimek

Karel Šimek’s first experiments with light date back to 2012, when he began to explore the limits of light as a media message. He is an artist who uses light to shape space and play with its possible perception. His steps have intersected with drama, opera, or ballet in all three Czech National Theatres. As a light designer, he has collaborated with Radim Vizváry for a long time. For several years he has worked as a lighting designer with Daniela Špinar. His work experience also includes cooperation with companies such as Lenka Vagnerová & Company, Spitfire Company, Prague Chamber Ballet, Tantehorse and DEKKADANCERS.
