09.00 Sensory Theatre Tour for People with Visual Impairments / foyer and backstage of Janáček Theatre
What happens in the spaces of Janáček Theatre that are usually inaccessible to visitors? Join our guide on an interactive tour where you’ll learn fascinating facts about the theatre’s history and present. You’ll experience the backstage world through all your senses. Feel the theatre’s atmosphere just seconds before an opera begins. Can the theatre staff keep calm, even when preparations don’t always go as planned?
The tour was created as a student project of the Theatre and Education Studio, DF JAMU, for organized groups.
10.00–22.00 Creative Zone / ground floor foyer
Levitation, meditation, or action? Become a globetrotter. Play a board game, create your own unique DSB brooch, try on costumes and props from various theatrical eras, and don’t forget to leave your mark! Create your own universe. You can come anytime and stay as long as you like — time flows here according to you. And don’t miss the fresh coffee from this year’s harvest by Pikola Café.
10.00–12.00; 14.00–17.00 What is My Home – Children’s Playroom / Polárka Theatre / ground floor foyer
Planet Earth is a shared home for all of us. Let’s bring it to life together! This project is based on Montessori principles and free play, specifically designed for the youngest audience (up to three years old) and their companions.
10.30 Voyage Through the Body / Divadlo DIP / ground floor foyer
Did you know that water makes up most of our body? Do you wonder where it flows — and why? Let’s peek under the skin and greet the water within us. We’ll meet the brain, peek under the “pans” of Mrs. Kidney, play at being enzymes, meet the sneezes “Achoo” and “Goosey,” and experience much more.

14.00 Fairy Tales of the Future / POCKETART / piazzetta
The performance Fairy Tales of the Future is a public presentation from a three-day dance-movement workshop with performers transitioning from study to professional practice. Together with choreographers Sabina Bočková and Johana Pocková, participants explore the possibilities of individually working with fairy-tale characters, breaking stereotypes, and extending this work into everyday life. The resulting coexistence of these diverse heroines and heroes in one space and time is a celebration of individuality and group diversity. Through absurdity, humor, shared emotions, and accompanied by live music by Lukáš Palán, the performance attempts to bring to life a vision of the future with a happy ending from the perspective of the young generation.
