The Brno cultural newsletter brings you an overview of events and opportunities in the coming period concerning theatres, clubs, festivals, and cultural events in Brno.
Dear fans of Brno culture,
Forgive us for the late release of the March issue. As you may have noticed on our Culture Brno Facebook page, it was necessary to switch to a new electronic tool for sending out the newsletter, which caused some unexpected complications in the preparation of this issue. However, we don’t want to deprive you of at least the basic news and information, so we are sending you only the most important in the first days of spring...
At the same time, let me remind you of the opportunity to get involved in the development of the new Action Plan 2 of the Culture and Creative Industries Strategy 2023-2025. The opinions and experiences of the cultural and creative scene in Brno are important to us. We don’t want to create documents about you without you, so we hope you will help us answer the question “Where is Brno's culture and creativity headed?” and get involved in the public comments on the draft document.
On behalf of the Department of Culture of the City of Prague, we salute you.
Veronika Majíčková
FROM US TO YOU

We look forward to receiving your input by 9 April 2023 at kultura@brno.cz.

Exploration of ruins within the performative laboratory of the Centre for Experimental Theatre in Brno. The purpose of the laboratory will be a performative exploration of what can actually be a ruin, what influences its condition, and what is needed to change not only its image, but also the ruin itself. We will collectively search for the living and vibrant in the fake mortified to uncover how times, politics, events, discourses, stories, being and encounters of human and extra-human bodies, technologies, and worlds collide.
