The German-Czech Future Fund has been financing bilateral projects for the understanding of the two countries since 1997. Last year, the fund considerably supported EIN STÜCK: TSCHECHIEN, our festival of new Czech drama, a collaboration of Drama Panorama with the Czech Centre Berlin, Theater unterm Dach, and Letí Theater Prague.

On Tuesday, 17 March 2015, Dr. Tomáš Jelínek, the fund’s new director, introduced himself at Berlin’s Czech Centre in a follow-up to a network meeting that had taken place at Rotes Rathaus earlier this year.

Barbora Schnelle and Henning Bochert seized the opportunity to introduce him to the continuation of EIN STÜCK: TSCHECHIEN as a long-term, biennial project to realize sustained collaboration.
