"The basic idea, that inspired creators to launch the first year of Apostrof festival was gathering of

top Czech, Slovak and foreign independent, amateur and semi-professional theatres and also

mutual friendly comparison of their work (especially the ways how to express different vision of the

world through theatrical art)“. – says director Akram Staněk. "During the past 16 years, we

managed to bring many theatre companies from all over the world to the Apostrof festival scene.

We also created many theatre projects that Czech and foreign authors worked on, so that we

established cooperation with many festivals abroad. And only just to discover such – often very

surprising – relations, is the main motivation for our annual effort to present to audience

productions of countries that haven´t the possibility to be a part of the festival yet“.

 

The creators are constantly looking for a new theatre companies from all continents to approach

and invite them to be a part of the festival. Also the traditional participants are invited to be a

part. In few days´ programme there will be included the most interesting Central European

theatre companies and groups from distant foreign countries that express together the

Apostrof´s fundamental motto: "The theatre as the international communication language"

 

Audience award

As always, the participants will try to win the Audience Award, which is the direct expression of

opinion of those, who have always been the purpose and the goal of all Apostrof´s theatrical

efforts - of opinion of the general audiences as well as of the colleagues. The audience has the

opportunity to evaluate each production immediately after its end. Apostrof also allows each of

the participants and the audience to give his own private award or anti-award to anyone or any

theatre company that interested him.

 

Challenge

Inseparable part of Apostrof´s dramaturgy is also "Apostrof premiere". The festival invites all

interested troupes, who are not afraid of the first presentation to Apostrof audience, to offer

their premiere to the programme. In case that the offer will be accepted by the Board of

dramaturgy, the premiere production will get extra support from Apostrof´s organizers.

 

Off programme

Apart from the main programme, the festival usually offers a range of accompanying events,

concerts, discussions and many surprises. About all these events you can read in Czech and

English newsletter "Voice". About theatre workshop topics you will be informed in May.
