You can’t escape Janáček. In Brno, that’s just a general fact, but it’s particularly true at this public university. Leoš Janáček (1854–1928) is the Czech Republic’s most played operatic composer who spent most of his life in Brno. Apart from being a phenomenal artistic powerhouse, he also contributed greatly to the development of cultural life in this Moravian metropolis. Though he didn’t found the musical academy, he founded an organ school which then developed into the Brno conservatory. The Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno (JAMU) was established on September 12th 1947, a mere two years after the establishment of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.

The Drunk
One evening and a few people, who don’t know, how to continue with their lives. Everything starts to clear up in intoxication only. Possibly someone will find Jesus Christ. A tragicomedy by current Russian author Ivan Vyrypajev.
“The Drunk” solve the most current problems of Europeans in a harsh and poetic concept. The performance was created as the graduate output of a director Petr Akimov and a dramaturgist Michael Sodomka. They choose the play primarily for difference from the others plays at Studio Marta and for interesting tragicomedy dialogues.
