Dear Friends, dear theatricals,
Through a meeting of theatre performers from different countries, a meeting with the audience, getting to know each other, conspiring with each other, we can rejoice that a talent like desire for freedom has come to fruition, that even a theatrical talent will make us human beings, perhaps, have a deeper, more beautiful, more cheerful, nobler life. Long live the meeting, long live Brno with its own SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER at least for the next 31 years.
Let us protect ourselves, protect our freedom.
