MIRACULUM International Theatre Festival 2007

Český Krumlov will host for the third time MIRACULUMInternational Theatre Festival. From 24 - 29th October the historical town on the Vltava river changes into a stage. The concept of MIRACULUM International Theatre Festival exploits the extraordinary quaitness of the town of Český Krumlov with the impressive silhouette of the castle, large, beautifully and expertly restored collection of historical buildings and rich cultural traditions enabling to perceive the town as the whole, as the theatre town as redivivus miracle. The whole town of Český Krumlov which this year celebrates 15th anniversary of being included on the prestigeous UNESCO´s list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is a sort of animate theatre museum in which the environment, the authentic architecture, both the exterior and the interior, including the town-planning unique configuration of the town, share in enhancing the experience and the sight.

Within the framework of this year´s theatre festival for example Studio Ypsilon Praha will appear on the stage with the performance called The Sold Bride,Hofmusici theatre chorus will perform in the Castle Baroque Theatre and on Svornosti square the spectators can watch the performance of Kvelb Theatre called The Outbreak.

MIRACULUM Festival respects the natural and internationally cultural and historical priorities of the locality which are getting stronger. They are the Castle Baroque Theatre, the castle as the whole including the garden which together with the collection of historical buildings in the town create the imposing town stage design to which there is no parallel. Further to these determinatenesses the concrete festival repertoire orientates on the traditional theatre kinds, types and forms which enable within the intentions of contemporary marketing approaches to strengthen cultural and historical potential of the destination and to create a new Krumlov cultural platform.
