Why we gather

A call came
from Brno

A wish to strengthen and grow the local Playback Theatre community — to create more connection, inspiration and international exchange.

We listened to this call. And with excitement and love for Playback Theatre, we decided to create this special international gathering. Together we hope to strengthen the playback and improvisation community in Brno, while building new friendships and collaborations between people from different countries.
