Most performances are completely sold out, concerts also enjoy high attendance, and visitors were not deterred even by Saturday’s rain. The dialogue is thus in full swing. “This year’s theme of dialogue lives not only in the program but also among people – after performances, in the streets, in queues, and during chance encounters around the city. These moments make REGIONY unique. We thank all viewers for the energy they bring to the festival. It’s wonderful to see packed halls, lively streets, and that people meet at the theater, stay, and share time together,” says Eva Mikulková, director of Klicpera Theatre.
The second half of the festival will bring more notable domestic and international productions. Divadlo Drak invites, among others, to the Dutch punk retro-cabaret BRASS, which will be presented on Wednesday and Thursday. Also worthy of attention is Thursday morning’s performance of the production BAD BLOCK, which connects digital art, sound design, and contemporary puppet theater.
REGIONY has long been more than just performances; it is also about the shared space in which the festival takes place. “We strive to ensure that REGIONY leaves behind not only strong experiences but also a pleasant environment. At the festival, we use refundable cups in all official stalls and sort waste. We will be glad if visitors are considerate not only to each other but also to the places where the festival happens. Only thanks to this can REGIONY remain an open and welcoming festival for years to come,” adds Barbora Hodonická, director of the nonprofit kontrapunkt.
The REGIONY festival continues in Hradec Králové until Friday, June 26.
