This year, just for them and with them, two thematic evenings aptly named Cirksession I, organized by the center for contemporary circus Cirqueon, and Cirksession II, which is under the tutelage of Circus Mlejn, will be held," the organizers claim.

"Letní Letná not only brings to Prague the best ensembles from around the world, but it is primarily a festival of Czech circus. From the very beginning it supports and helps develop the local scene and in thirteen years of its existence it has helped many of our artists to open imaginary door to stages all around the world. Also this year, it offers the audiences trips into the colorful world of the Czech new circus and movement and street theater," the organizers add. For the very first time the Prague audiences are going to see the Travelling Company Žebřiňák, performing their open air production BarRock.
