Do you think that working in theatre is fun? Try explaining it to someone who spends there so much time that they do not know where they live. And that all corners of this magic place radiate sounds of happy cheer and pure beauty? The backstage is often filled with completely different feelings than enthusiasm and awe. Come have a look behind the curtain and see for yourselves! A theatre workshop with members of the SPOLU ensemble open to public follows the production.

SPOLU Olomouc is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that has been supporting disabled people (mainly mentally handicapped) in self-realization in everyday life in Olomouc and its vicinity since 1995. In a regular group aktivity called Divadlem SPOLUpracujeme they focus on using creativity and imagination. The fairy-tale stories of the SPOLU group have found the right place in the festival off programme as well as with the regular audience: We Want to Play (2008), The Beauty and the Beast in Us (2012), Once Upon a Time There Wasn't (2013), Sailors (2014) and What Went Wrong? (2015) and The Cosmic Mystery (2016).
