Be the best British version of yourself!
Young people with different accents, temperaments, and life experiences. Their birthplaces are scattered all over Europe, yet they are all in the same place - the Miss Brexit London pageant. The contestants try to convince viewers of their commitment to the UK so they can continue to live the British dream. However, only one of them can win. What does one have to erase from one’s life to become someone different and 'better' - to become British? An existential journey towards stability and better opportunities, but one that forces self-denial, is presented by students from the London College of Music, University of West London, in Miss Brexit at the Husa na provázku Theatre.

What are the limits of (musical) absurdity?
Among the regular participants of the festival Setkání/ENCOUNTER are groups from the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU). This year they presented to the audience a musical adaptation of Brecht's well-known opera The Beggar's Opera. However, the opera’s protagonist Mackie Messer is slightly in the background and the theme of power takes priority. But what kind of power are we talking about here? Is it social power - who rules who? Is it the power of money - which so clearly moves the world? Or is it the power of masculinity - where men are the ones who stand at the head of the masses? Basically, all three answers are correct in this production.
