The festival runs from October to November, featuring three international theater productions. Due to renovations at the National Theatre's new stage, performances are held at Pražská křižovatka and DOX. The opening show on October 7th and 8th is 'Tajné životy starých lidí' by French director Mohamed El Khatib, focusing on seniors' intimate lives and performed in Kostel Svaté Anny. This is followed by a concert on October 9th described as a 'Woodstock' of love songs. In November, two shows at DOX include 'Haribo Kimchi' by Yaha Kao, where a Korean performer prepares dinner for two audience members while exploring cultural identity. The second November show is 'Opatruj se' by Aleksandr Celdin, depicting night shift cleaners in a meat processing plant. Trpišovský explains the festival's theme of creating intimate spaces to discuss underrepresented social topics. He notes that all foreign-language performances have Czech subtitles. The interview covers practical details like venue specifics and ticket discounts for combined events. The festival's connection to Václav Havel's legacy and the physical space of Pražská křižovatka is mentioned. Trpišovský emphasizes the artistic value of bringing marginalized voices to theater. The episode concludes with an invitation to attend the festival events.
