Pobřežní Festival

This year's fifth edition brings a diverse programme. The new circus section features acrobats from the Holektiv ensemble performing a dance-acrobatic piece Vrány accompanied by cellist Terezie Kovalová. Puppet theatre will be represented by several productions: Rostislav Novák and his wife Anna present the fairy tale The Little Rooster and the Hen, puppeteer Jan Kindl presents The Great Adventure of Little Ota about writer Ota Pavel, and The Dream of the Sargasso Sea – featuring giant illuminated puppets accompanied by didgeridoo player Ondřej Smeykal.

From the musical programme: Jan Unger, singer of the band Zrní, returns for the third time, this time with the family project Unger Jansen – the married couple Honza Unger and Bára from the band Dva, with the project name referencing a Hungarian-Swedish poet, botanist and visual artist with Czech roots. Bára Hrzánová will perform accompanied by the band Condurango with "Latin American music from Budějovice". Rozálie will present her solo programme and Luboš Pospíšil will showcase a selection of his long-term work accompanied by guitarist Bohumil Dvořák. The Friday programme will close with the band Chrpa. On the border between song recital and poetic storytelling will be a performance by members of the Sklep theatre – David Vávra and Lenka Vychodilová accompanied by David Noll. Tomáš Mazal, one of the authors of the book Přeloučský román, will return with his story about its creation.

A novelty of this year's edition is a meeting for drawing enthusiasts with David Vávra and Matěj Forman in plein air by the river. The programme will be complemented by a football match of the festival selection against the Sklep Hornets (with David Vávra playing for the Prague team) and paella preparation by Matěj Forman.
