With the upcoming Janáček Brno 2020 festival, dummies of Leoš Janáček with his dog Čipera started to appear in the streets of Brno. A QR code is placed on each of the dummies, which, after scanning, will play a sample of his works.
TIC Brno and the Janáček Brno 2020 festival together have prepared "listening places" for musical works by Leoš Janáček, who is the most performed Czech opera composer in the world, and his life and works are closely related to Brno. You can find Janáček's figure in as many as sixteen places in the centre of Brno. The Janáček Brno 2020 festival is to take place from 28 September to 16 October 2020.
