THE TWO EVENINGS OFFERED
Saturday 18 April - professional show
The traditional Saturday evening performance of a professional show has been replaced by an online performance of extracts from the play Où est passé l'homme à la moto? by Céline Caussimon.
Inspector Mélodie discovers on his desk a file that has been pending since 1956: the case of the Man on the Motorcycle. Remember: at the end of the song, we find his panties, his motorcycle boots, his black leather jacket with an eagle on the back. But the motorcycle and its driver have disappeared! We have to face the facts: the Man on the Motorcycle has been hiding in French song for 60 years and has managed to cover his tracks. But Inspector Mélodie and his trusty accordion are determined to find his trail...

THE PROGRAM
The Society of Botanical Psychology was shocked by a discovery made by a group of independent scientists. By implanting pieces of DNA from other living organisms, the researchers transformed the behavior of vegetables. Now, even simple vegetables stored at home are beginning to display basic emotional and motor functions. Did you know… there's life in your refrigerator?

Saturday evening is dedicated to a professional show, which will be performed at the Pardubice Theatre.
It is a mime show performed by Kateřina Janečková and Matěj Kohout.

THE PROGRAM

Katerina Janečková
Actress
Kateřina Janečková was born on 7 May 1983 in Šumperk. She comes from a family of artists. Her mother is an actress and her father is a film director. As a child, her dream was to dance, which was inspired by her grandmother Lea Janečková, a well-known choreographer. Under her guidance, Kateřina devoted herself to expressive dance, but later she also wanted to act as such. She applied to the conservatory. She first studied at the University of Prague and then at the University of Ostrava.
She gained her first real acting experience in front of the camera at the age of eleven. Along with Dagmar Veškrnová, she appeared in the series When the Sun Doesn't Work. Later, she began to appear more or less regularly on television screens - for example, the fairy tale Restaurant to the Prince , where she met Matěj Hádek, who played Prince Filip II, in the role of Princess Róza. She could also be seen in the series Trailier - Second League and Family Bond . However, her role as the devoted secretary Kateřina Bertoldová in the TV series Prima Osklivka Katka brought her real popularity.
