History:
The longest running Prague Fringe space, it has been a Fringe venue since the 2nd year of the Fringe in 2003. Located, in what was for decades a coal cellar, A Studio Rubín has been running as an underground (literally) performance space since 1967 with only a brief break in programming after the Communist regime closed it down. Reopening with red tones to its name, it was allowed to continue. The building 'The House at the Three Crowns' dates from the 1460s and was originally a hospital.
