Setkání – Encounter
Setkání/Encounter

SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER is an international festival of theatre schools with more than twenty-five years of tradition. The uniqueness of the festival lies in the fact that the main organizers are students of the Theatre Faculty of the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno.

The idea of the festival itself arose from the need of the founders of the SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER to meet other theatre professionals and students of theatre schools and to make the city of Brno a centre of cultural events. This show becomes more prestigious every year, thanks to the rich participation of student companies from theatre schools from all over the world. 

Theatre students from the Visegrad Group countries regularly come to Brno, as well as companies from South Korea, Colombia, the Philippines, the United States, Iran and many other countries.
