The 37th annual SETK\u00c1N\u00cd\/ENCOUNTER International Theater School Festival will take place April 13\u201317, 2027, in Brno. The festival is organized by students of the Theater Faculty at the Jan\u00e1\u010dek Academy of Music and Performing Arts (JAMU) under the guidance of the festival committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although SETK\u00c1N\u00cd\/ENCOUNTER is a non-competitive festival, it has a festival jury that rewards outstanding students\u2019 work by giving out the \u201cMarta Award\u201d. The award does not rank individual productions from the festival programme, but rather highlights the most inspiring and innovative artistic achievements of young theatre artists. The festival jury selects and rewards students in various categories (which are not determined in advance). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival aims to provide a place where students, teachers, and others involved in the theatre can meet to present and discuss their work and methods. We would like to enlarge the cooperation of schools and develop friendly relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the festival\u2019s artistic section selects a theme for that year\u2019s festival. Although the festival has a theme, the performances do not necessarily have to follow it. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cSparkle.\u201d In addition to the main program, there is also an \u201cOFF program,\u201d which includes additional theater performances, parties, and other events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
