Meeting with a dinner. Limited seating!
A joint project by the Archa Theatre and the Staatsschauspiel Dresden. Two artists, one from Prague and the other from Dresden, take a walk together between Dresden and Prague. Jiří Zeman and Tanja Krone met at the end of August when they set off by foot from Dresden to Prague. Places with powerful history on both sides of the Czech-German border emerged from the past. On the basis of the conversations of both artists with local inhabitants, documentation of the landscape and chance meetings a multimedia documentary was created.
The Prague premiere will take place in the form of a joint dinner with the audience, both artists and experts on the question of Czech–German relations. The Dresden premiere will take place in January 2016.
