By implanting pieces of DNA from other forms of living organisms, the researchers transformed the behavior of vegetables. Now, simple vegetables, even those stored at home, are beginning to display basic emotional and motor functions. Did you know… that there is life in your fridge?

THE GODFATHER ARTISTIC PRACTICE WORKSHOPS Jaromir Janecek Actor, director and translator Born in 1947, Jaromír Janecek studied French and Russian at the Faculty of Arts in Prague. He is now the artistic director of the Studio Saint-Germain troupe in Prague, a theatre created with the French Institute. He has translated into Czech several plays by French authors (including Yasmina Reza, Roland Topor, Jean-Marie Besset, Romain Weingarten), some of which he has directed himself. He is also a translator from Russian and Croatian. THE GUEST ARTIST 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. Up

NATIONAL READING ALOUD CONTEST #1 Theme : TRAVELS, TRAVELS FINAL in June 2017 at the French Institute in Prague

Presentation Created in 1986 by Éric Cénat, the Company is based in Orléans and affirms its artistic approach by giving it a line around words, those that give meaning and inscribe us in time and space. Thanks to them, we explore our past, understand our present and reflect on our future. "Memory and story" : Through a coherent choice of themes addressed and shows mounted, through the adaptation for the stage of non-theatrical texts (novels, interviews, press articles, poems, testimonies, letters...), the Théâtre de l'Imprévu wishes to meet these beings, who by their life and their destiny, are privileged witnesses of their times. Our shows thus tell this moment i-where life changes, where the individual reveals himself and where daily life is turned upside down. "Memory and song" : Musical theatre is a source of simple emotions, laughter, generosity, poetry, stage/hall intimacy, in short, pleasure. Pleasure for the actor and pleasure for the spectator. This specificity has also reinforced our desire for roaming. Roaming that has taken us from Parisian cabarets to the Avignon Festival, from village halls to national stages, from the villages and towns of our Centre Region to major European cities. The artistic approach Words are at the heart of our artistic approach. In a society where image takes precedence and rubs shoulders with the ephemeral, words give meaning and place us in time and space. Through them we explore our past, understand our present and reflect on our future. We look for words where they are found, where they serve emotion, thought and pleasure: Play, testimony, interview, novel, letter, poem, song, journalistic writing… On stage, the words then flow from our mouths. The Theatre of the Unexpected in the Czech Republic A European festival: the Frankoscény A national reading aloud competition Professional Franco-Czech creations French-speaking workshops and courses 16 years of friendship, meetings, and cooperation Theatrical creations in partnership with high school students The company Le Théâtre de l'Imprévu is based in Orléans, France, but its creations cross borders. Artistic director and stage director Éric Cénat has been setting up projects in the Czech Republic for sixteen years now. He works more particularly in the Pardubice region, within the framework of European cooperation between it and the French Centre-Val de Loire region. These international actions aim to offer a different approach to learning French, through theatre, with in particular the Frankoscény festival , and reading aloud . These artistic practices of the French language allow us to understand it through precise pronunciation and elocution exercises, but whose objective goes beyond the simple mastery of the language itself. www.theatredelimprevu.com On the occasion of seven years of cooperation Documentary films Behind the scenes of the creation of the show Operation Romeo - Czechoslovakia, 1984 (2014) Documentary on the show September 11, 2001 (2012) Up
