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.

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.

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.

FRANKOSCÉNY#4 April 27-28-29, 2023 Programme THE PROGRAM PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition Les troupes Hradec Kralové - Czech Republic Lunch - Romania Cairo - Egypt Tunis - Tunisia Olomouc - Czech Republic PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition Spectacle profesionnel Friday April 28 - Professional show Three years after her death, Greek composer Sophia Alexandrou, Czech visual artist Vojtech Janyška and French director Éric Cénat are joining forces to celebrate this emblematic figure of Greek poetry. Winner of the European Literature Prize, Kikí Dimoulá left her mark on her country's poetry scene. In her repertoire, Le peu du monde has a very special place. Written in 1971 and translated into several languages, this work brought her worldwide fame. She depicts the passing of time, daily life and solitude in a bittersweet tone. Her unique perspective still resonates today. To illustrate this timeless text, the three European artists interweave, on stage, musical creation on the piano, spoken or sung French and Greek voices and animated projections of watercolour paintings. A way for them to breathe new life into this work and make it eternal. THE THREE EVENINGS ON OFFER On Thursday evening, the various troupes took part in an open mic night, where each had five minutes to present a performance of their choice. This was an opportunity for them to showcase an aspect of their culture to the international audience of the Frankoscény! Saturday evening was the closing party, a festive moment for the participants before they parted ways! ARTISTIC PRACTICE WORKSHOPS During the festival, artistic practice workshops will be offered to participating troupes, supervised by professional French artists. They will take place on Friday and Saturday mornings. THE GODFATHER Vojtech Janyska Visual artist and videographer The works of the painter and video artist Vojtech Janyska are influenced by his numerous travels in Asia and more particularly in India, a country whose language and culture he studied, and whose cinematographic creation he passionately follows... He regularly creates theatre sets incorporating video projections (including Hotel Europe with Jacques Weber, directed by Dino Mustafic at the Théâtre de l'Atelier, or most recently Maryvonne by Camille Berthelot, WET 2020 - CDN festival in Tours). Since 2003, Vojtech Janyska has presented his work in numerous galleries in France and the Czech Republic, where the National Gallery acquired two of his paintings. He regularly invests public spaces, such as during his "manifestation bien" , where he displayed about a hundred life-size painted wooden figures on the forecourt of the Centre Georges Pompidou. THE GUEST ARTIST Sophia Alexandrou Greek composer & musician Sophia Alexandrou has been composing and arranging music since 2010. She won her First Prize for Original Composition at the age of 13 and has since won nine more First Prizes at Panhellenic and European music competitions.

She has composed for animated short films and plays. Her music has been performed at the Olympic Stadium in Greece, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Ancient Theatre of Dion, the Athens Concert Hall, the French Embassy in Greece, the French Institute in Greece, the Athens Plaza Hotel and many others… VOLUNTEER IN CIVIC SERVICE Lea Laouaf With a degree in History and a Master's degree in Teaching, Education and Training, Léa taught History-Geography in a college for a year.

Frankoscény #3 - April 22-23-24, 2022 Back to a physical edition! THE PROGRAM PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition Hradec Kralové - Czech Republic Prostejov - Czech Republic Trencin - Slovakia Olomouc - Czech Republic PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition Apple Valley Directed by Clément Peretjatko based on a text by Marie-Pierre Cattino Synopsis: Twan sees Ma crying on a rock. They decide to leave the forest together to join the apple valley that their parents have designated for them as a haven of peace. There, the shooter in the straw hat will not be able to reach them, and maybe even the moon will show itself to shine again! But how can two children of six and eight years old find their way hidden by too many warpaths? And what if, from up there, between the stars and the rifle shots, an eagle tired of the chaos of the adults descended to dry their tears and take them under its wing? PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition On Thursday evening, the various troupes took part in an open mic night, where each had five minutes to present a performance of their choice. This gave them the opportunity to showcase an aspect of their culture to the international audience of the Frankoscény! PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition For the first time, Literary Encounters took place at Frankoscény! These meetings with Lenka Horňáková Civade, a Czech and French-speaking writer and patron of the festival, were an opportunity for the students to discuss with her the richness of her work at the crossroads of two cultures and two languages, French and Czech, and to show them more concretely what learning French can bring them. They were also able to discuss with her the themes related to questions of translation and interpretation when one finds oneself caught up in language constraints. These rich and exciting exchanges delighted both the students and Lenka Horňáková-Civade. PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition During the festival, artistic practice workshops are offered to participating troupes, supervised by professional artists. This year, Claire Vidoni, Clément Peretjatko and Éric Cénat took part.
