Contemporary plays from the Czech Republic in Berlin: Drama Panorama e. V. and the Czech Centre Berlin once again present a festival of contemporary Czech drama \u2013 Ein St\u00fcck: Tschechien 2020!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the Corona pandemic, we will not be able to present guest productions this year (they have been moved to 2021!), but we are nevertheless pleased to be able to present three staged readings in the gallery of the Czech Centre, in compliance with current hygiene regulations.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fourth time now, the biennial festival of contemporary Czech drama Ein St\u00fcck: Tschechien <\/strong>will present contemporary Czech plays in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a new generation of playwrights in the Czech Republic whose plays are relevant for audiences all over Europe, but who nonetheless are barely known outside of their own country. The festival organised by the Berlin association for translation and theatre Drama Panorama: Forum f\u00fcr \u00dcbersetzung und Theater e. V.<\/strong> in partnership with the Czech Centre Berlin <\/strong>redress this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2020 edition of the festival, the focus will be on plays by Czech women playwrights, who position themselves in different ways towards female identity in Czech society. In staged readings in the Czech Centre, plays by Dagmar Radov\u00e1, Tereza Semotamov\u00e1 and Martina Kinsk\u00e1 (in collaboration with the historian Radek Schov\u00e1nek) will be presented for the first time in German. Dagmar Radov\u00e1’s play Thelma and Selma<\/em><\/strong> is a theatre road trip inspired by the film classic Thelma and Louise<\/em> – funny, fast-paced, cross-generational, feminist and topical. In Tereza Semotamov\u00e1’s play Please Enter Your Destination<\/em><\/strong>, we meet a young couple who discuss their relationship in a surreal-grotesque way with a car navigation system. In the play IM with Enemy Connection<\/em><\/strong>, the author Martina Kinsk\u00e1, in collaboration with the historian Radek Schov\u00e1nek, explores the tragedy of life in a totalitarian regime, in which people’s most private spaces are abused. The production of the play directed by the author won the 2019 Mark Ravenhill Prize for the best production of a contemporary drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
