THE THEATRE NIGHT AND THE “REFUGEE CRISIS”
In the context of the escalated situation in the Near East and Europe, another accompanying event is dedicated to the “refugee crisis”.
The Arts and Theatre Institute, the coordinator of the Theatre Night,
is preparing a workshop where simple puppet theatres for children participating
in the Theatre Night will be made and equipped with wooden puppet semi-finished
products representing Czech fairy-tale characters; simple sets will be then
complete. They will be sent to refugee facilities in the Czech Republic.
Other theatres joined the ATI call, such as the Stará Aréna in Ostrava, which is planning to use the interactive happening and theatre form to present their experiences from their voluntary activities on the Hungarian-Serbian border.
