FACE TO FAITH - KREATIVNÍ EVROPA
A co-production multimedia production romeo&julie2022 based on Romeo and Juliet, where a young couple is given a generous opportunity: they have to play themselves in an online reality show and try to gain as many followers as possible. However, the seemingly easy task leads to a shattering of everything that has been valid so far.  The production, which was created in 2022 as part of the Face to Faith project, was presented at Teatr Powszechny in Warsaw in March 2023. Romanian director Alin Neguţoiu (direction) and Andrei-Cosmin Stancu (set design) also took part in the theatrical performance and subsequent discussion. 

On 13 June 2023, the performance romeo&julie2022 was presented to the Prague Visitors guests at the official off programme of the Prague Quadriennale 2023. Director of the theatre Michal Lang was invited for a panel discussion with the creators of other productions presented at the PQ (or representatives of theatres) at the Theatre Institute, where the observers could ask interesting questions not only about the production, but also, for example, about the situation in theatres during the pandemic.
