Dear friends,

This year, we will hold our 28th encounter of theatre-makers during the SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER festival. This event is an example of one of our basic theatre principles, not only in name but in its main idea. In theatres, during interpretation of a work of art, authors meet with creators and together, through performances, they also meet with their audience. This festival is also about encounters of theatre performers from many countries. They represent different cultural environments, theatre traditions, and personal views on the current development of theatre. I hope that this year’s festival will be intense, inspirational, and enriching for all visitors and spectators.
