Eva
Alner Jízdná

Eva was born and raised in Ostrava, where she studied music and drama at the Janáček Conservatory.

She gained her first acting experience while still a student, appearing at the Petr Bezruč Theatre and the Silesian Theatre in Opava. After graduating, she joined the West Bohemian Theatre in Cheb and later the Horácké Theatre in Jihlava.

Five years later, her journey brought her to Prague. It was here that she discovered oriental dance, which became another important part of her artistic life. She trained with Czech and international teachers, later taught at Aisha, then the largest school of oriental dance, and performed with the historical dance company Saltatio Vitae.

A period devoted to family life and raising her three children followed, during which she lived in Israel and Slovakia. After returning to Prague, she wholeheartedly embraced acting again, appearing not only on stage but also in television series, films and advertising campaigns.

Her experience in culture and media inspired her to establish the non-profit Estela Productions. Through it, she creates theatre, film and cultural projects that explore important social issues while preserving their artistic freedom.

Today audiences can see her at Divadlo Na Fidlovačce, Divadlo MA and Divadlo pod kloboukem. Since 2024, she has once again been sharing her experience of oriental dance, while also practising and teaching yoga. Several times a year, in partnership with Samara Cruise, she organises week-long voyages to see wild dolphins in Egypt.
