About the venue: Měšťanská Beseda

Měšťanská beseda is a Neo-Renaissance building with Art Nouveau décor, erected by the Pilsen citizens' association in 1901 and ceremonially opened on 29 December of that year. Following an extensive renovation completed in 2005, it serves as one of the most important cultural centres in Pilsen. The venue houses several halls and salons, the Beseda Cinema, the Jonáš Theatre and an Art Nouveau café, with a total capacity of over 1,000 persons. Concerts, theatre performances, balls, film screenings, festivals, lectures and children's events take place here almost daily. The building is a listed cultural monument and received the Building of the Year 2005 award.

About: Jaromír Hanzlík

A native of Český Těšín who skipped drama school and went straight onto the Vinohrady Theatre stage, Hanzlík became the face of a generation - as Dr. Jandera in Sanitka, Uncle Pepin in Cutting It Short, or Hamlet. His touring one-man show Úsměvy Jaromíra Hanzlíka takes him across Czech towns, where he shares behind-the-scenes stories from decades of film and theatre.
