Description was written before the event

An unlikely summer gathering of comedian Petr Soukup and dancer and choreographer Milan Tomášik in one evening in Brno in 2026. Musical accompaniment by Jakub Mudrák.

About the venue: Vila Engelsmann

Vila Engelsmann is a neo-Baroque villa built in 1931–1932 on Hlinky Street in Brno for textile industrialist and art collector Felix Engelsmann. The L-shaped building with a mansard roof and grand street façade stands in stark contrast to the functionalism dominant at the time. The owners fled the Nazi occupation in 1939; the villa was confiscated and later nationalised. Today it is privately owned and available for event hire and guided tours.
