In the field of theater, Josef Čapek made his mark with both his dramatic and visual creations. In the realm of drama, he, along with his brother Karel, experimented in the search for alternative dramatic and stage possibilities, pushing Czech theater forward in terms of genres. As a visual artist, he created numerous set and costume designs for two leading Prague theaters during the First Republic era (the National Theatre and the Municipal Theatre on Royal Vineyards). He also provided set designs for four productions staged between 1926 and 1927 at the Provincial Theatre in Brno.
