Description was written before the event

A meeting with renowned Czech theatre and film personalities Jaroslav Dušek and Jan Vojáček.

About the venue: Workers' House

Dělnický dům is a community cultural centre in the Židenice district of Brno, opened on 15 August 1897 by the Society for the Construction of the Workers' House in Juliánov – one of the first such venues in the Brno region. The building, originally a single-storey structure with a hall, stage, restaurant and garden, was rebuilt several times and underwent a full renovation between 2017 and 2022. Today it hosts theatre performances, concerts and social events, and includes a restaurant with a summer terrace.

About: Jaroslav Dušek

Born 30 April 1961 in Prague, Jaroslav Dušek is a Czech actor, improviser, screenwriter and pedagogue who gained international recognition through his performances in Jan Hřebejk's films Cosy Dens, Divided We Fall and Pupendo. He co-founded the Vizita Theatre with Jan Borna in 1981, and the company has devoted itself entirely to improvised performance since 1986. In addition to his work in cinema, Dušek regularly tours with the philosophical stage productions Čtyři dohody and Pátá dohoda and moderates the discussion series Duše K. at Prague's Divadlo Kampa.
